MARCH 2026 ISSUE

Welcome to your March 2026 ANTIGRAVITY.

We open with an appreciation for hard-earned subcultures (spoiler alert: stop fucking using AI), enter free-flowing Pisces season, remove period blood and lipstick from clothing, contemplate how to RSVP to an ex’s wedding, navigate parenthood and artistic practice, attend Diana Antohe’s solo show the difference between looking and forgetting, discuss studio work vs. live work with sound engineer Evan Martin, and compile public comments about the proposed data center in New Orleans East. Jane Place preps us for new housing fights with a new City Council, Alex Rawls of My Spilt Milk recommends combating AI by leaning into individuality, and Alt Scene NOLA’s Elisa Gomez discusses Chris Booth’s Mardi Gras Tape Vol. 3. Our Close Encounters column features a Hot Wheels fan and more (send us your own close encounters through our ANONYMOUS Google form or at [email protected], a place for missed connections. All email addresses will remain confidential. Don’t be a creep).

Branna Elenz sits down with Third Lantern Lit president Danny Cherry Jr. about the community, classes, and workshops 3LL offers; Senior Photo Editor Katie Sikora discusses painting your heroes with multi-media artist Brent Houzenga; we round up our favorite offerings of the 29th annual French Film Festival, while Carlos Molina talks with FFF Artistic Director Clint Bowie about the curation process and history of the fest.

Comics, photos, reviews, some poetry, a crossword puzzle, and tarot reading complete this issue. Pick up a copy and enjoy the weather!
