Food as Medicine: New Orleans Cuisine with Healthy Alternatives

Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden 1 Collins Diboll Circle, New Orleans

As one of the culinary capitals of the world, New Orleans’s cuisine is one of the city’s most notable attributes. While many of these dishes are world renowned, their nutrition and healthiness is sometimes compromised during their creation. Lower 9th Ward native Courtney Clark has dedicated much of her multidisciplinary creative practice to community food justice organizing in an attempt to combat many of the diet-related diseases that exist within many of New Orleans’ communities.
