On May 7 a team of media artists from New Orleans Video Voices and 2-Cent Entertainment attended a community meeting in Biloxi, Miss. to hear about the impact of the oil disaster on fishermen, particularly the Vietnamese community there. They were invited by Thao Vu, advisor to the Gulf Coast Fund and a counselor at Mercy Housing. They heard testimony and questions from fishermen and their families about how the evolving catastrophe will affect their livelihood. We’ll be editing and uploading video to YouTube.
