Issue 2: Atlanta

Black Life Everywhere: Atlanta is a multidisciplinary issue documenting cultural, creative, and political life across Atlanta, Georgia. Through photography, poetry, music, visual art, essays, and interviews, the issue highlights the work of artists, organizers, and community members shaping the city’s contemporary landscape.

The collection examines themes of cultural production, community care, movement-building, and everyday life amid ongoing struggles over land, safety, and public investment, including resistance to the proposed Atlanta Public Safety Training Center in the Weelaunee Forest. Together, these contributions form a living archive of Black life in Atlanta, reflecting how creative practice and organizing intersect to produce knowledge, connection, and possibility across the contemporary South.
