Montréal/La Nouvelle-Orléans, ou l’art comme mode de vie. Cette semaine, nous sommes ravis d’accueillir quatre artistes de WECAN, organisation montréalaise soutenant le développement professionnel d’artistes afro-descendants.

Presenting Évangéline. Presented in Louisiana French, Évangéline is a Columbia University MFA short film written and directed by Cory St. Ewart and produced in association with the Nous Foundation.

We are so thrilled to have received the #CreateLouisiana 2024 French Culture Film Grant! This funding awarded by TV5MONDE, CODOFIL Louisiane, Cox, and Deep South Studios will allow us to produce a musical documentary to-be-released in early 2025. Merci #CreateLouisiana !

Nous + WECAN - ou l’art comme mode de vie, de Montréal à La Nouvelle-Orléans. Nous sommes ravis d’annoncer la mise en place d’un partenariat entre WECAN et Nous Foundation, qui mettra les arts visuels à l’honneur, du Québec à la Louisiane.

Congratulations to our cofounder Scott Tilton (Scott Tilton) who was named one of Gambit’s 40 under 40 this week. Exciting news! t.ly/rE9t5

Peyton Manning giving a shoutout to Mardi Gras and New Orleans - and then correcting himself to say “or should I say La Nouvelle-Orléans” - during the #Paris2024 is what we’re here for 👏 #Nolatwitter #NewOrleans #LaNvOrTjrs Peyton Manning

Imagining the challenges (costs, etc.), but credit to #Olympics2024 for building an Olympic village (using eco construction) on a former industrial site that afterwards will become a neighborhood. With a housing shortage and vacant land, New Orleans could achieve a similar goal.

Allô Sweet Crude et les Baby Dolls. The recording of our new album for The Library of Congress and principal photography on our documentary for CreateLouisiana started yesterday (we love a good summer challenge).

Merci Biz New Orleans! We can’t wait to present Évangéline in October at the New Orleans Film Festival. Nous avons hâte de présenter Évangéline en octobre au New Orleans Film Festival. bizneworleans.com/louisiana-fren…

Thrilled to be have been appointed Commissioner on the Vieux Carré Commission, which preserves the FQ. Living in the French Quarter has been a highlight of moving back to New Orleans after Paris. Very excited to work alongside Dir. Bryan Block and my fellow Commissioners.

Joyeuse fête des fiertés à La Nouvelle-Orléans 🌈🌈 #Pride2024 #Louisiana #SouthernDecadence

Deux fiers Franco-Américains qui vivent en français tout en promouvant cette belle langue ⚜️ dans 2 pays avec des réalités différentes. Ce fut un plaisir de rencontrer le Louisianais & co-fondateur de la Nous Scott Tilton dans notre métropole francophone de Montréal!

Heureux de revoir mon ami Scott Tilton de la Nous pour discuter de leurs projets de valorisation de la culture louisianaise, de la langue française, du jeu vidéo national, et d'un peu d'histoire du Québec!

Today on Louisiana Considered, we get an update on the week in politics. Plus we speak with the Nous to learn more about the history of Haitian immigration in the U.S. and how the country has inspired food, language and politics in Louisiana.

Info du jour : la Louisiane est le seul Etat américain membre de l’Organisation internationale de la Francophonie. Et quoi de mieux qu’une collab avec nos amis de Fulbright France pour valoriser ça ?

Haïti x Louisiana. Our co-founder Scott spoke on Louisiana Considered (NPR) alongside Max Jean-Louis to discuss Haiti’s role in shaping Louisiana. We’re proud to highlight this important connection and look forward to seeing Max’s upcoming exhibit in New Orleans. tinyurl.com/3ewhnpj8
