Louisiana Architecture Foundation

LXCL:The Louisiana Architecture Foundation works to advance Architecture in Louisiana by serving as a link between the public and the architectural profession. This linkage includes public awareness of architecture, public support for architecture, and public participation in processes that shape the environment.

The award-winning film documentary,&nbsp;Ancestral Artistry: The Influence of Africans &amp; Creoles of Color on Louisiana Architecture, traces the enduring influence of Africans and Creoles of Color on Louisiana&rsquo;s architecture, revealing how centuries-old building traditions&mdash;rooted in African and European craftsmanship&mdash;shaped a distinct cultural landscape now at risk of being lost if a new generation doesn&rsquo;t carry them forward. Ancestral Artistry&nbsp;was produced by the Louisiana Architecture Foundation and Makemade. It was co-directed &amp; co-written by Connie Castille &amp; Charles Richard.&nbsp; The August 27th screening is co-hosted by the <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.louisianaarchitecture.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Louisiana Architecture Foundation</a> and the <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.neworleansarchitecturefoundation.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">New Orleans Architecture Foundation</a>.
