If you’re familiar with Atlanta’s art scene, chances are you’re familiar with Maggie Ginestra. After arriving in the city from St. Louis in 2012, Ginestra quickly became an instigating force wearing different hats: artist, poet, collaborator, administrator, curator, and organizer. She was half of the duo that conceived Sumptuary, a creative performance/art series at MINT gallery in 2014. She continues to facilitate the Walthall Fellowship, WonderRoot’s yearlong program for emerging artists, which has her returning to Atlanta on a regular basis. burnaway.org interview by Andrew Alexander / March 26, 2015
