The Hemis katsina holds deep cultural significance, appearing during the Niman ceremony-one of the most anticipated times of the Hopi year. Celebrated in July, this ceremony marks the end of the growing season, a time when the tribe honors the harvest, enjoys the fruits of their labor, and welcomes the summer months. As a symbol of prosperity, renewal, and gratitude, the Hemis embodies the spirit of abundance and is considered one of the most meaningful katsina in Hopi tradition.

Recently, Post Imperial collaborated with This is Us, a Nigerian company that produces clothes from fiber to finish in Nigeria using local craft traditions. Cotton is from Katsina; dyeing done in Kano. By keeping all of the production local, they reduce their carbon footprint.

In de Nigeriaanse deelstaat Katsina zijn in een half jaar 650 kinderen omgekomen door ondervoeding, meldt Artsen Zonder Grenzen. Het is een verdrievoudiging ten opzichte van vorig jaar. Eén van de oorzaken is het schrappen van noodhulp door de Trump-regering.

Georgia O’Keeffe's Hopi Kachinas

"Those Indians with their drums—like a heart beat from the center of the earth."

In the Hopi culture, the term Katsina (Katsinam, plural), also Kachina, is only used in reference to spirit beings.

Further info in the alt text 👇
Kachina, 1938 Kachina, 1934 Oil on canvas, 22 x 12 in. ©Georgia O’Keeffe Museum Kachina, 1945 The Hopi term for the carved wooden figures that represent the Katsinam is Katsina tihu (tithu, plural). Georgia O'Keeffe created paintings of Hopi Katsina dolls (tithu) between 1931 and 1942. These religious figures were highly visible and available to non-Hopi and non-Pueblo people during this time, but the museum has no record regarding why she painted or drew these figures nor where she saw them. ^ ^Central figure of Katchina on white, cream, and grey blended background; ground has fabric appearance; thin red and yellow vertical stripes on vertical edges. Figure's head has five (5) crosses: two above eyes, one between eyes, 2 below eyes, red ear-like projects from side of head; feather motifs behind head. Yellow upper body with red blue necklace and armband, arms held at waist. Off-white, yellow and beige lower body with black area center and suggestion of blue belt. Blue and black feet, yellow upper body; cream lower body.
