Street art as service in New Orleans

A team of photographers, writers, and filmmakers--—both veteran and civilian—--are crisscrossing the country to explore the lives of post-9/11 veterans, the divide between them and their communities, and the stereotypes that veterans and civilians hold about each other. Why does this divide exist? How does it affect communities across the country? And why does it matter?

Street art as service in New Orleans

Season 1 Episode 2 | 6m 14s | CC

As we wander the streets of NOLA, he talks to us about the value of public art, especially in “at-risk” places, and how he takes negative images and makes them positive.
