Tiny Tombs

Players are invited to visualize the character within each burial place through a matching internet site “archive” on Delaney’s internet site. The list of Tiny Tomb places is upgraded yearly as brand-new sites are added or tombs are relocated.

Its burial places are scattered in areas that appear improbable for interments: an antique store, an old resort, a gallery. These tombs have never held human residents.

Launched in 2017, NOLA Tiny Tombs uses an unusual (and cost-free) self-guided stray with the “City that Care Forgot,” leading the curious to areas of cultural and historical interest. Each Tiny Burial place is a small masterpiece, sculpted and handpainted by musician Lady Delaney, whose job mixes art, background, and immersive aspects, and whose various other offerings include challenge video games and social networks treasure hunts. When developing the tombs, Delaney performed comprehensive study in the New Orleans cemeteries, modeling her sculptures on their design, but likewise including recommendations to New Orleans multiculturalism, weaving German, French, Irish, African, and Chocktaw motivation into the burial places’ names and tales.
