Well we did it, we actually did it… we the 9th Ward group actually went to the community. Not a big deal, you say? But since this is a community arts class and we had no community, it is to us. We ventured out across Claiborne into the 9th Ward to the House of Dance and Feathers. Much to my surprise, the museum was made by the resident of the home, Ronald Lewis. The House of Dance and Feathers is a collection of Mardi Gras Indian, and Skull and Bone memorabilia, as well as documentation of Hurricane Katrina. When Lewis began renovating his home, he was the first one back in this devastated community. The museum began as a means of revival, a glimmer of hope.
