Since the disaster that occurred with Hurricane Katrina 16 years ago, New Orleans has been in a state of constant instability and uncertainty. The city is below sea level: it is rising, the surrounding land is sinking - the next disaster is looming. Perhaps that's why those who don't fit anywhere else in the system find a home there. Queerdos, as they call themselves; travellers who wandered restlessly through the country in search of inspiration and their own identity. But this city is like the swamp that surrounds it: Once in it, it is hard to get out of it. The migratory birds have become migrants. They have found their self-chosen community and family here. A nest, at least for this moment. And they are very productive, always on the edge. In this place with an uncertain future, all the energy flows into the here and now. An unruly and rebellious subculture has emerged. Climate change will cause significant destruction all over the world, but some places will be hit sooner and harder. Louisiana seems to be such a place and people are feeling it. None of those who have moved here have precise plans for the future, but one thing is certain: it won't happen here. The advantage of being a bird of passage is that you can just move on.
