By Jonathan Fogel, Editor
NOMAD MUSEUM
“The Nomad Museum, a private collection in Bend, Oregon, recently
moved to more formal quarters at 616 NW Arizona Street, in
the same city. The museum is the first to be dedicated exclusively
to the exploration of the worldwide cross-cultural rituals
of body art and personal adornment. It showcases jewelry and
art representing body modifications from most of humanity’s
notable adorned cultures. The museum also traces the evolution
of body art and adornment throughout Mesoamerica, spanning
Olmec through Aztec cultures, and featuring gold, jade, obsidian,
and silver plugs that were soldered, cast, or hammered into
the finest personal adornments nobility could afford. The collection
represents some four generations of family collecting spanning
the whole of the twentieth century.” |

APP
Conference, Mexico City, 2006: This was the very
first APP conference in Mexico and after 18 years of piercing,
it was a career high point. Piercers from all over the region
were in attendance—some from as far away as Venezuela
and Peru. Distinguished guests in attendance included A.F.
Josefina Bautista, director of the famous Museum of Anthropology
in Mexico City. It was an honor to present this anthropology
lecture to a packed house of such warm and enthusiastic piercers.
It was an emotional experience for myself as well as the
audience in attendance. Truly a milestone event in our industry.
