Constance (magazine)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Constance is an annual arts and literature journal based in New Orleans, Louisiana, founded in 2006 by graphic designer Erik Kiesewetter and writer/editor Patrick Strange, who is also the ex-managing editor of Los Angeles–based Filter. Exploring the "fragmentary life that is New Orleans," Constance publishes many forms of visual art and creative writing with a focus on New Orleans and the ongoing crisis following Hurricane Katrina.
The magazine is named Constance after the street in New Orleans where Kiesewetter lived before Hurricane Katrina.[1] It also refers to the resilience of those who live in New Orleans, and the spirit of art.[1] The magazine features a wide range of art, including painting, writing, illustration, graphic design, graffiti, poetry, sculpture, photography and collage.[1][2] Accompanying each artwork is the artist's mini-biography, which includes their location pre-Hurricane Katrina, their current location, and their contact details.[2]
Proceeds from the sale of the magazine go towards printing costs and the cost of developing future volumes.[1]
