PICTURE THIS: WE ARE STILL HERE IN THE FUTURE 🏠

TBD Magazine x Lede New Orleans present a workshop for Collective Imagination, Housing Justice, and Future-Building 💬

This we know: the people of New Orleans are still here and continue to shape futures on this land. This workshop will push us to hold our current climate reality and explore future pathways for New Orleans beyond relocation and abandonment.

We’re inviting artists, organizers, researchers, cultural workers and community members to gather and share their visions.

The evening will feature a conversation with sociologist, artist and co-founder of Jane Place Neighborhood Sustainability Initiative Shana M. griffin, followed by collaborative world-building exercises using collage, mapping, writing and design prompts to imagine systems and solutions that support long-term community sustainability in New Orleans.

Pull up! We’re scheming and dreaming for something better 🤓

Tuesday, May 19, 6–9 PM at Fat Happy Media (1941 Dauphine St, New Orleans, LA)

A few moments from Acts of Devotion ❣️

We left with our hearts so full. Thank you to every artist who shared their work with us, and to everyone who showed up with openness and presence. The energy was indescribable, you really had to be there 😭

If you missed it, our newest free zine, The Role of an Artist, is still available to download at tbdzine.com/free-zines.

Such a beautiful community was in the room, and we’re excited to keep building with you. We’re on to our next issue, so stay tuned! ☺️

The Role of an Artist, a zine made by a community of artists from collages and questions at our community dinner on Dec 14, 2025.

We asked what responsibility looks like: to each other, to our communities, to worlds beyond the US colonial settler project. The conversations and collages from that night became this zine, now free to download on our website.

Printed copies will be at Acts of Devotion this Saturday, with more locations to come!

There’s a moment when discomfort stops being something to hide from and becomes something to move through.

For Solomon Z, Humiliation is that moment.

Raw, bass-heavy, and emotionally exposed, the EP traces a personal metamorphosis through improvisation, movement, and sound.

“I want people to take out the emotional trash. To explore feelings without judging them so much, just to free up some space”

Read the full feature in our latest issue.

🌟 Solomon Z will be performing at Acts of Devotion next Saturday, where the issue will also be available.
