The Parthenon and William Rosen  present a cocktail reception featuring a lecture by Jim Amoss, Pulitzer Prize-winning Editor of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, in conjunction with the opening of Immersion: A Katrina Room in The Parthenon's West Gallery. Proceeds from the lecture and reception will benefit New Orleans Habitat for Humanity. Following the ticketed event is a free, public opening from 8:00pm until  9:00pm sponsored by The Conservancy for the Parthenon and Centennial Park.

Three years ago, Hurricane Katrina prepared to make landfall. As a fourth generation New Orleanian, William Rosen had been through many storms, so he and his wife packed overnight bags and prepared to leave the city for the duration of the hurricane. But as the world knows, this storm brought more than the usual disaster: the levees were breeched following the hurricane, flooding 80% of the city. Instead of returning in a few days to a house that had withstood the storm, Rosen and his daughter arrived a month later to document a ruin. On the third anniversary of this devastating natural and man-made disaster, the Parthenon examines Katrina through the eyes of one man representing the thousands who lost both little and all. A life-sized room construction, papered in Rosen's enlarged photos of the home's interior, helps visitors envision what was left after the water subsided. In some cases, an eerie beauty remains in these former living quarters. The exhibit also includes images from the New Orleans Times-Picayune newspaper archives and two front pages from the paper's Katrina coverage.
