Publisher Note
Beau Patrick Coulon is a New Orleans based photographer and filmmaker whose imagery draws from class struggle and subcultural movements. Born in Hollywood, he is the eighth of ten siblings, and he spent much of his childhood bouncing back and forth between California, Florida, and Oklahoma. At 13, he moved out of his mom's apartment to live on the streets with punks he met on Hollywood Blvd while skipping school.
Coulon traveled across the country by freight train and lived among a network of derelict squats, punk houses, collectives, and DIY art spaces. He first arrived in New Orleans in the mid-90s and found kitchen work in the French Quarter. Beau also worked seasonally as a farmhand in Washington, pouring concrete in Montana, harvesting sugar beets in Minnesota, bookbinding in S.F., doing demolition in NYC, and framing art in Tampa Bay. Through these experiences, he developed a perspective informed by decades of working-class struggle and nomadic living.
