Ancestral Artistry is a 2024 feature-length film documentary produced by the Louisiana Architecture Foundation (LAF). It tells the story of the architectural legacy of early Africans and Creoles of Color in Louisiana and highlights their impact on the state's distinctive architecture over 300 years. Through the stories of several past and present-day Louisiana artisans and master craftsmen, Ancestral Artistry showcases traditional building trades like carpentry, masonry, and iron smithing, passed down through generations. The film also follows contemporary torchbearers of the trade as they preserve these fragile traditions and train new apprentices.
The Natchitoches screening is presented by the Louisiana Architecture Foundation and the Creole Heritage Center.
The Creole Heritage Center is a part of Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. The center works to advocate for Louisiana Creoles and their heritage by educating others on the importance of Creole history.
