JULY 2024 ISSUE
Welcome to your July 2024 issue of ANTIGRAVITY.
We open with a PSA on avoiding heat-fueled agitation, enter ever-romantic Cancer season, de-stankify estate sale chairs with Tips From Theriot, kill caterpillars via Dirt Nerd, smell the art of Stephanie Combs: Down the Drain in our Art Brine column, while Raising Louisiana reveals and heals our ghosts (so our children don't have to). For the Record compiles public comments regarding the Essence Fest "clean zone," and we find unity with The Dohm Collective in Sound Check.
Zane Piontek speaks with some of the artists, academics, and community stewards responsible for Nanih Bvlbancha, an installation of the triennial art exhibition Prospect New Orleans; Danny Cherry Jr. digs into the rise of Christian nationalism in Louisiana politics; Bennett Kirschner discusses the pursuit of joy with Elvira Castillo and Sly Watts; while Paula Ibieta talks with Foreign Seed author Allison Alsup about falling in love with New Orleans and writing believable historical fiction. Additionally, Senior Editor Erin Hall reviews Drive-By Truckers at the Civic Theatre.
