"MYTHICAL NEW ORLEANS"

Since 2012 Danaé Brissonet has been blending her Guadeloupean heritage and Québécois folk painting traditions. Drawing from Caribbean folklore and cultural symbolism passed down through generations Brissonet brings her characters to life through giant puppets, masks, and costumes as well as massive scale mural paintings. When Hilton remodeled this New Orleans property at Julia and S. Peters Streets in 2019 they partnered with the Helis Foundation and invited Brissonet to paint this fantastical composition as a bridge between the city's Convention Center and Arts District.
