THE YING-YANG EFFECT

Photography/Design: Raven and Regan Stanley

Writing: Rodney Carey Jr.

In January of 2013 I attended an event

called Secret Walls at the Big Top gallery on
Clio street. Secret Walls is a low key word
of mouth street art battle that are put on
all across the world. They feature two local street/graffiti artists, whom are given 90
minutes to each create a drawing of any
kind on a large white canvas using only a
white and a black paint pen. At the end of
the time limit both artist pieces are judged
and a winner is declared. The battle I saw
was between Trase and Murky, two prolific
local graffiti taggers and sure veterans of
their craft. As the two pursued in heated
battle another local graffiti artist, Meek
began working on a spray paint mural of
his tag on large pieces of plywood set up
outside of the gallery. The whole show had
very relaxed vibes to it, everybody knew
each other, people were just hanging out,
mingling, and watching some art be made.
When all the fighting had ceased the night
was ended by the Bastard Sons of Marvin
Hirsch, a friend of mines two piece punk
band. This was a really unique experience,
one that left me inspired and feeling lucky.
Lucky that I got the chance to get a genuine peek into this subculture which isnt
always easy to find and often hidden in the
shadows and behind secret walls.

Burned Home
By Lizette Toto

How long does it take for an entire

house to burn?
There are many variables involved in
how long a house will take to burn
down. The size of the house and the
size of the initial fire, the materials the
house is made of, and the furnishing
inside the house. Then, there is a matter of if anyone tries to stop the house
from burning. All of these will play a
major role in how long it takes for your
entire world to burn.
In the aftermath of the fire, walking
through the ashes of a home and witnessing the singed family pictures and
old couches where people once sat
gives you a sullen feeling.
I was walking through Algiers Point in
search of houses to photograph. I had
high hopes to find the perfect house
that could tell a story from the view of
its windows, shutters, and worn down
porches, but I had no luck. In all of
the homes I saw, none gave me the
right message until I came across 1314
Teche Street.
1314s walls were not completely there,
its windows were covered by rotting wood, and you could still see the
charred remains of the structure. Its
porch still stood proudly with its peeling white paint, but as you stepped
up to the front door, you could see
through the eaten wood and melted
furniture covered in black dust. 1314
Teche Street was gone.

If you ever pass by 1314 Teche Street, on its

porch you will always see a sign that reads,
Call Jack. The House Burned. God Bless
You. However, if you are lucky, you might
actually see Jack sitting in his chair in the
way he used to before the fire. If he is feeling chatty, he might actually tell you this:

This used to be my home, not my

house but my very own home. I intended to live here until I died. Got
good neighbors and you dont find
that in a big city too often.
The city is planning to demolish Jacks
home because it is structurally unstable.
They dont see that a man and his family will be left without a home very soon.
Nevertheless, Jack hopes to pay off the city
and keep his home so that he can attempt
to rebuild his life again.
I only ever met Jack the day he let me
interview him but his courage and determination to save the memories and valuables
that burned to ashes in his home gives me
a symbol of hope. It is possible to rebuild
what is destroyed by fire and it is possible
for a New Orleanian to get up again.

of The ZeMurray Foundation
The CAC Teen Board is a group of highly motivated and
creative teens who want to play an active role in their
arts community. Teen Board members execute their own
outreach program to give teens in the New Orleans area
access to a top-rated arts center, to help craft teencentered arts programming, deepen their understanding of
the arts, and build essential life skills. They work with
professionals to develop experience in curation, outreach,
and marketing as well as specified art forms. If you would
