Holiday Season Weekend Feature: The Longhairs

Photo copyright Wings, 2014; all rights reserved.

Today at The NDN Silver Blog, it's the latest in our holiday weekend features series, in which we highlight the work of a single artist over the course of both days. This weekend, it's Josh Aragon and his gorgeous katsinam — specifically, the Longhairs.

Yes, that's what they're called. No, you didn't just take a 40-year bad trip back to your parents' living room. "Longhair" has a very specific meaning and symbolism, and it's an important one. We cover that in today's post; tomorrow, we'll have another version from another tradition.

Shares of the post itself, and of Wings's main page, are of course much needed and welcomed with our thanks.
