SEPTEMBER 2024 ISSUE

Welcome to your September 2024 issue of ANTIGRAVITY.
We open with an invitation to settle into home again, enter grounded and adaptable Virgo season, remove mold from our a/c units in Tips from Theriot, reflect on tending the soil of our local economy in Dirt Nerd, balance our time as a parent and individual in Raising Louisiana, visit Jorge Lucero’s Permissions for Documentation: A Guide for Showing Evidence of Your Conceptual Art Practice in Art Brine, protect our ears with Simon Lott in Sound Check, and compile comments from the City Council’s “statement of peace” regarding Israel’s war on Palestine. MaCCNO contemplates the future of the French Quarter, and we welcome our inaugural housing rights column from Jane Place Neighborhood Sustainability Initiative.
Senior editor Holly Devon sits down with author Yuri Herrera to discuss his new book Season of the Swamp and the connections between Mexico and New Orleans; associate photo editor Tammie Quintana interviews artist Sarah House about her fractal art and branching out into new mediums; Sweet Magnolia gives us a tour diary from their recent Midwest tour leg; and Holly Devon circles back with her best attempt to clear our neglected mail bin—and invites you to get in here to review some of the local music, books, and art that comes our way.
We also debut our new column, Close Encounters, featuring toddler meltdowns, vinyl nerds, and bayou runners.
And the reliable backbone of comics, photos, poetry, reviews, and a tarot reading shape the remaining pages.
