Through participatory art and science, Searching for Ghosts of the Gulf will explore missing species from the Gulf of Mexico in collaboration with Plaquemines Parish coastal communities that are themselves endangered. Ballengée will work with ‘at risk’ coastal populations with citizen driven art/ science research that will foster individual artistic expression while collaboratively brainstorming and taking actions towards a collective future survival. This residency will be hosted in partnership with The Tulane University Biodiversity Research Institute.
