Please join the Bayou Culture Collaborative for our February 21, 2025 gathering of people and organizations focused on preserving Louisiana’s heritage and examining the effects of land loss on local culture. Mardi Gras offers us an opportunity to look at community heritage and traditions as indicators of community strength. In this presentation, Dr. Jennifer Morrison will discuss how in recent years, Acadiana Mardi Gras has undergone an interesting evolution. Dr. Morrison will discuss the cultural implication of John Weatherall’s reconstruction of Acadiana rural Mardi Gras and what it means for understanding community. For more information, click here.
