For us, magic stands for something that has the ability to remove us from our everyday lives. This could be waking up to a silent snow, the world unexpectedly caked in white. Or it could be more utilitarian, like lucking out on your morning commute, each train, each transfer, arriving just seconds after you step onto the platform. Most importantly, it’s about rising above the forces that tell us to stay in our place, not to stand out, lest we be hunted down and burned on the stake of our differences. In this issue we celebrate those differences: black girl magic, older woman magic, and just plain witchy magic.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">For cover artist Grimanesa Amorós, magic comes from working with the miracle of technology: Her large-scale installations using LED lighting inspire wonder in anyone who sees them, in the gallery or on the street.
