Rendez-Vous Interview: Our first guest, francophone photographer and video producer, Claire Bangser, reflects on the one year anniversary of her project NOLABeings, a photo story-telling project inspired by Brandon Stanton’s Humans of New York.

Rendez-Vous Interview: Our second interview this month will feature local francophone artist Mary Grace Cathryn Bernard. Mary Grace’s art displays both a constant reminder of someone living with cystic fibrosis, and a vibrant perspective on the world. Since her diagnosis with cystic fibrosis when she was 5 years old, she has reinvented herself through art. This February, Mary Grace has embarked on a challenge to create a sixty-five rose piece every day in order to raise awareness and money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
