Research and development of a panoramic 360° tour of the French Quarter’s Gallier House to relate the histories of African Americans who lived there.

The Panoramic 360° tour of Gallier Historic House will focus on telling the ignored histories of people of African descent who lived on the property, particularly as it relates to their interaction with the built environment and interstitial spaces, and the preservation efforts made to maintain the home and its features. We have gathered a team of eleven scholars from around the country to provide direction, research, and evaluation on the points of interest (POIs) featured in this virtual experience that will make this space accessible to a wider selection of the public.

Abstract: Welcome to Shifting Landscapes: Labor and Mobility in New Orleans.
