[WAITING ON CLOSING DATE] Photographer Aníbal Martel and researcher Thenesoya V. Martín De la Nuez are the Canarian co-creators of CISLANDERUS, a four-year-long cultural and artistic project dedicated to the Canary Islanders community in Louisiana, the living legacy of the eighteenth-century Canarian immigration to New Orleans. The exhibit will travel to the Capitol Park Museum, where visitors can explore a forgotten chapter of the state's Spanish-American history through over one hundred interviews and an unprecedented photographic archive.
