Southern by Grace

Hey, y'all :-) The South is a way of life and a state of mind, the land is in your blood. There's pain and suffering but also gratitude, hope, and joy in abundance - intangible riches brought by a long history of many cultures. There is no other place like the South.

Mardi Gras
One of the biggest misconceptions about Mardi Gras is that it’s only one day or one weekend. It’s not. It’s a weeks-long season that begins on January 6th, Twelfth Night, also known as the Christian Epiphany. The official end of Mardi Gras is at midnight on Ash Wednesday. Since the date of Easter changes every year, Mardi Gras varies in length. The most common misconception is that Mardi Gras is a New Orleans Bourbon Street event filled with beads, beer, & boobs. It’s not. Bourbon Street is for tourists, generally avoided by locals. In fact, most parading & celebrating is largely a family event taking place out in the various parishes. In the rural Acadiana area, many Cajuns celebrate with the Courir de Mardi Gras on Fat Tuesday, a tradition that dates to medieval celebrations in France.

Florida night sky
Celestine (Florida Storm) ~ artist Allison Janae Hamilton, c.2025. A 12-minute time-lapse film with color & sound of the night sky filmed in Hamilton’s home state of Florida. Derived from “Florida Storm,” a hymn written in 1928 by Judge Jackson about the Great Miami Hurricane of 1926. The song was published in 1928 – the year the Okeechobee Hurricane brought even more devastation to the area. The film is a meditation on the interconnected forces that continue to shape our world – climate, power, racial injustice. Hamilton’s work in her “Celestine” exhibition reminds us that reverence for what came before us – for the people and the land – doesn’t only mean to root down. In the fight for a better world, we must also look up. Marianne Boesky Gallery, New York, NY #art #contemporary
