Enigmatic Stream

"View from Sunshine Bridge looking upriver, near Donaldsonville," by Richard Sexton.

Friday, February 21 at 8:30 pm & Saturday, February 22 at 5:30 pm on Art Rocks!, meet photographer Richard Sexton, whose book, Enigmatic Stream: Industrial Landscapes of the Lower Mississippi River, captures the essence of a complicated and often mysterious section of the country’s largest waterway. Its towering refineries, mills, and factories loom over neighboring communities, along a river network plied by tankers, barges, and cargo ships. Published by The Historic New Orleans Collection, the book also includes essays by Paul Schneider and John H. Lawrence. Learn more about this project, and see stories from around the country on this week’s Art Rocks!  

Hosted by James Fox-Smith of Country Roads Magazine, Art Rocks! is LPB’s weekly series that spotlights artists, performance, culture, literature, history and the impact of art in our world. It features Louisiana stories, as well as segments from across the country. Current and past episodes are here: www.lpb.org/artrocks.
