Abstract/Artist's Statement

Based on the stories of residents of New Orleanians, this research aims to understand the multidimensional conflicts that Black girls in New Orleans face, in relation to understanding the crime wave that has engulfed the city. Through exploring the political, social, and economic infrastructures that set up environmental enclosures of urban violence, vanishment, and neglect in Black community, I am offering insight into a city that is often forgotten. Over all, I argue that the spike in girls committing crime in New Orleans has been a result of a long history of institutional abandonment and provide avenues for the Black community to reimagine new uses for space and place.
