What can garlic teach us about diaspora, difference, and belonging? In celebration of The Garlic Eaters, we spoke with author and illustrator Madison Safer (@madison.safer) about the Jewish histories woven throughout the book, from garlic’s role in warding off the evil eye, to Yiddish, klezmer, and the scents that carry memory across generations. “Jewish foods, culture, and words did not form from nothing—we have always influenced and been influenced by our neighbors, even when our experiences are not the same. I believe that diasporism is how we resist the urge to believe our own myth of exceptionalism: our pain and joy are ours, but they are also shared.” Madison also shares the garlic-heavy origins of the book, why smell became its marker of difference, the Eastern European illustrators who shaped her artistic style, and which vegetable she’d choose to live inside if garlic weren’t an option. Read the full conversation with Madison Safer: https://ayinpress.org/if-you-dont-eat-garlic-you-wont-smell-an-interview-with-madison-safer/ The Garlic Eaters was published on October 6th from Somewhere Books, an imprint of Ayin Press.

Ayin Press is pleased to distribute Thunder Perfect Mind (@thunderperfectmag), a curation of essays, interviews, and art devoted to the Goddess, and inspired by the animist view of nature that psychedelics reveal. It was born of an observation by author and Rolling Stone reporter Cassady Rosenblum (@cassadyariel): due to the explosion of plant medicine, more and more people are having unexpected encounters with the divine. Some of these trips happen beyond the realm of gender, or even form. Yet when they do take form, as Rosenblum has documented, many people aren’t meeting God, but specifically the Goddess. This is a shocking discovery for many Westerners, who haven’t had a conscious relationship with her for a few thousand years. Yet despite the systematic erasure of her temples and her names, she has never left us. And now, at our moment of greatest ecological need, she is bursting through the collective unconscious again. Thunder Perfect Mind is a cultural experiment: What happens if we treat psychedelic content as meaningful not just for the individual, but for the whole? Thunder Perfect Mind is designed by Ayin’s own Cem Eskinazi.

“A fragrant little family offers a perspicacious take on the Jewish diaspora in an unconventional yet universal story of discrimination and healing.” Booklist reviews The Garlic Eaters by Madison Safer (@madison.safer) in their September Issue (@ala_booklist). They write: “With a suitably woodsy, earthy color palette and portraiture that evokes Phoebe Wahl and the subtextual acridity of Sid Sharp, this tale offers readers a roguish yet relatable take on a specifically Jewish interpretation of the struggles of displacement, resourcefulness, and resettlement.” Read the full review and preorder The Garlic Eaters: at our link in bio.

I am thrilled to announce that Ya Ghorbati | Divas in Exile has been selected for your @grammys consideration in 5 categories.  In the multimedia album Ya Ghorbati | Divas in Exile, singer Laura Elkeslassy excavates the music and stories of Judeo-Arab divas from mid-century North Africa. Developed in collaboration with music director Ira Khonen Temple, the album weaves together North African Jewish folk and sacred music, spanning from traditional Andalusi style, to popular Chaabi, to Francarabe cabaret. The project looks across time and space to tell a tale of political upheaval, exile and displacement, ultimately questioning the supposed binary of Arab and Jew. With songs originally composed and interpreted by Line Monty, Zohra Elfassia, Habiba Msika, Maurice El Medioni, Shlomo Abitbol, Salim Halali.  We hope you’ll enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. @ayinpress @iraktemple @eylembasaldi @chrisgilroy @yoniavibattat @rachlihal @zguigueno @marwan__allam @aprilcentrone @nizardahmaniofficial @chrisgilroy @douglass_recording @srmastering @vex_eyal @maya.cueva_ @miriam_goi @subtype.studio @movieandsoundfirenzesrl @tmhaviv Listen on Spotify and at the link in bio ❤️‍🔥

It is with great emotion that I am announcing the vinyl release of Ya Ghorbati يا غربتي | Divas in Exile, out today on @ayinpress 🪬 After five years of work, it is finally here. Ya Ghorbati has been a personal, cultural, community project that has accompanied me -, and many of you -, over the years. I truly couldn’t have done this work without my stellar collaborators, community, and supporters who have seen the power of reinhabiting the Arab Jewish sounds, language, and culture against all odds 🤍 I have been so moved by the many messages of what the music has brought up for you, and I am so excited that we are back with the Ya Ghorbati full band (@iraktemple @eylembasaldi @nizardahmaniofficial @yoniavibattat @zguigueno @rachlihal) for many celebrations of the vinyl release this weekend. Do not miss our shows at @jewishcurrentsmag Live! at @bam_brooklyn this Sunday at 1 PM and then at @habibifestival at @joespub at 7 PM 🔥 Order your copy at the link in bio or come to the shows to get one!! 🎵 I should add that for the first time, the full lyrics will be available in the vinyl, transliterated and translated from Arabic, Hebrew, French, and Spanish. I can’t wait for you to have it in your hands 🙌

Informed by decades of movement facilitation, somatics, science fiction scholarship and doula work, adrienne has nurtured Emergent Strategy, Pleasure Activism, Radical Imagination and Loving Correction as ideas and practices for transformation. adrienne is the NYT-bestselling author/editor of several published texts, a ritual singer-songwriter, co-generator of the Lineages of Change Tarot Deck, and co-creator/host of the How to Survive the End of the World podcast with Autumn Brown. adrienne’s latest book, Loving Corrections, is now available from AK Press.
