Date: December 5, 2026


The Pointe-au-Chien gathering builds on Adriana Corral’s collaboration with the Pointe-au-Chien Indian Tribe following the devastation of Hurricane Ida. The assembly will include the premiere of a short film by Corral and Janaye Brown about the landscape after Ida, followed by a meal featuring locally sourced seafood and ingredients prepared by tribal community cooks. The project will also support upgrades to the community center to create a space large enough for community gatherings, an archival cypress table for residents’ stories and objects, and sculpted oyster shells made with youth during the tribe’s annual Culture Camp.

About the Artist

Adriana Corral (b. 1983) creates installations, sculptures, drawings, and films that confront histories that are often threatened by erasure. She meticulously uncovers primary documents while also investigating the physical and cultural landscapes of the sites she works with—examining the soil, the built environment, and the community’s collective memory. Corral critically examines the nuances of immigration, citizenship, economic trade, labor, public health, and policies in both national and international contexts that are informed by past and contemporary issues. These refined, contemplative works aim to facilitate the restitution of memory and to stand witness to the past in order to empower humane acts in the present and future.
Janaye Brown (b.1987) makes video work that explores perception of time, fragmented narratives and the unseen. She has exhibited at venues including New York City’s Studio Museum Harlem, Wassaic Project, Wassaic, NY, Anthology Film Archives, New York, NY, The Banff Centre in Alberta, Canada and Nazarian/Curcio in Los Angeles. Residencies include the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Madison, ME; Ballroom Marfa, Marfa, TX; Galveston Artist Residency, Galveston, TX and Fiskars AiR, Fiskars, Finland among others. Brown received an MFA in Studio Art from the University of Texas at Austin in 2013 and her BA in Cinematic Arts and Technology from California State University Monterey Bay in 2010.
