Summary
During the chaos, beauty, and psychic overload of Jazz Fest weekend, artist Ravi Zupa sits down with Chris and Gabe at Mortal Machine Gallery to talk about art that feels handmade, dangerous, spiritual, and alive. They get into Ravi’s instantly recognizable style — equal parts punk flyer, religious iconography, tattoo flash, revolutionary propaganda, and folk art — and why polished “content” culture has made real human-made art feel more important than ever. The conversation spirals through culinary hot takes, New Orleans during Jazz Fest, and what it means to make work that actually survives algorithm culture. A loud, sweaty, funny, existential Jazz Fest weekend conversation from inside the madness of New Orleans. Buy Ravi's work here .
