Chicago plays host to the traveling exhibition of photographs by Keith Calhoun and Chandra McCormick, who documented the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans for decades. Over two thirds of their negatives were lost in 2005 when their home and photography studio flooded and was left under 8 ft. of water. In addition to losing all their negatives, they also lost their home.
On April 21st Civic Blueprint will host a benefit to raise funds for rebuilding a community arts center and residence with the Calhouns and families like them affected by Hurricane Katrina.
