Greensboro -- "Recovering My Soul: Reinventing My Life past Katrina" will hang at The Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital from Aug. 28- Sept. 30. "Recovering My Soul…" features the works of Bennett College Artist in Residence Jacquelyn Hughes Mooney as well as Vita Jones, Sterline Ritchie Lacey, Marcia Walls, Kichea Burt and Karen Bethea and featured pieces from a traveling exhibit on Katrina.

"One thing I have discovered as this story unfolds is the overwhelming number of people who have something to say," Mooney says. "Not only citizens of the Gulf Coast living elsewhere, but friends, family and others who stood by in horror and worry for their loved ones who where valiantly trying to survive those tragic days."

This exhibit features about a dozen pieces of art, including photography. It is the latest exhibit in the Community Art program, which displays the works of a different artist from the community each month. The works are displayed along the main hall off of patient admitting on the east side of the hospital.

"Art and healthcare are a natural marriage," Shawn Houck, Corporate Events Specialist says. "Healthcare can heal the body and art can heal the spirit."

There will be an observation at Bennett College Wednesday night, August 29 at 6:30. It's called "Katrina: A Time of Prayer, Hope & Victory."

Featuring Ransom McCormick in The Changed Waters exhibition

I discover today that not only we will be observing the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina that for some of us, early Sept will also mark the 50th anniversary of Hurricane Betsy both of which I barely escaped by having moved away 2 weeks prior to Betsy and not returning just two weeks before Katrina and the levees breaking.  Go figure

Changed Waters exhibition: Introducing artists Valentine Pierce

Ms Valentine Pierce, artist

Both works are mixed media about Katrina. The images came from photographs I took around the city when I came back in December of 2005. The poem/prose are from about a dozen notebooks I had written over the course of about two years from August 2005 to January 2007 that became a work called, "Hell and High Water: A Writer's Notebook on America's International Disgrace." My goal when I started the project was just to document but, as with all projects, it took on a life if it's own.

I used photography, paint, paper, cardboard and old frames. That is, I used what was left after Hurricane Katrina ravished the city.

"3 Dead" was written on a house in the Ninth Ward. I don't remember, beyond the broad event of the hurricane what generated the prose. It is 18"w x 15.5"h.

"Standing Still": The photo is from the Ninth Ward; the poem was born as a result of standing in the middle of Tulane and Broad photographing with absolutely no traffic. Anyone who knows this city knows you can't just pull over anywhere near Tulane and Broad and stand in the middle of the street with a camera. It is 19"w x 14.75"h.
