Unwilling Architects Initiative Art Unveiling

Since 2021, Victoria Mansion has been researching and sharing the stories of the individuals enslaved by the Morses in New Orleans, and how their unpaid labor provided the funds to build this beautiful summer home. Thanks to a generous grant from Coffee by Design’s Rebel Blend Fund, Victoria Mansion has been working with artist Carl Joe Williams to produce a piece of art to bring the stories of the Unwilling Architects Initiative to life.

We would like to thank Indigo Arts Alliance, our Artist Selection Partners, for their support and guidance throughout the process. We are excited to have this work on display, giving us a tangible reminder of the role these individuals played in the Mansion’s history.

Please join us on Wednesday, October 29^th as we share this work for the first time and hear from the artist about his process. This event is free, but space is limited. Light food and beverages will be provided.
