Lola Palacios & "The Lady of the House of Love" by Angela Carter

Curator and Funeral Director's Assistant Lola Palacios reflects on Angela Carter's 1975 short story, "The Lady of the House of Love." Several themes throughout Carter's tale of Romanian vampire romance interweave with Palacios' many artistic practices. We delve into the "death positivity" movement, the gendered politics of necrophilia, and Lola's recently curated exhibition "Night Perfume; An Homage to Storyville" which explores New Orleans' early 20th century Red Light District through a contemporary lens. Find Lola on social media at @followyrlola and if you're in New Orleans, catch her exhibition up at Arrow Cafe until March 8th.
