Introducing: Katrina/Sandy
This week marks 9 years since Hurricane Katrina decimated the Gulf Coast, and almost 2 years since Hurricane Sandy ravaged the East Coast. In partnership with Sandy Storyline, we are proud to release an interactive timeline that connects the dots between two of the most devastating disasters in our recent history.
As documentarians on the ground after Katrina and Sandy, we wondered what we could learn by stepping back and viewing the stories we’d documented in conversation with one another – and by incorporating the wealth of research, data, and analysis that has come to light in the years since.
These engaging personal narratives, of leaving, of loss, of looking ahead, are layered with multimedia research, analysis, and commentary from leading scholars, journalists, and advocates. Users follow their own path through the timeline, discovering fresh perspectives and insight into survival and community resilience in the wake of disaster.
View Katrina/Sandy
Katrina/Sandy is the latest feature of the LandofOpportunity experimental web platform. A partnership between LandofOpportunity and Sandy Storyline, the timeline also features short videos from acclaimed filmmakers Nathan Fitch, Brent Joseph, William Sabourin, Leah Mahan, and Monique Verdin.
