Diné Weaver Venancio Aragón

"From researching historic twill patterns in museum collections to dyeing wool with Kool-Aid, Diné (Navajo) weaver and instructor Venancio Aragón interlocks research and experimentation to expand the visual and technical vocabularies of Diné weaving. Working on the Diné upright loom, Aragón is part of a generation of Diné weavers who reinterpret ancestral knowledge through experimentation, carrying the medium forward on their own terms. As he stated in our interview with him, “I am not a purist.”

Based in Farmington, New Mexico, Aragón is trained in cultural anthropology and Native American and Indigenous studies, currently teaching at Diné College, the Navajo Nation’s tribal college. Before transitioning to full-time weaving and teaching, Aragón worked as an interpretive park ranger at the Mesa Verde, Aztec Ruins, Bandelier, and Petroglyph National Monuments, where he led tours and developed public education initiatives. He was born to the Tó’aheedlíinii (The Water Flow Together People) clan and born for the Naakaii (Mexican people). His maternal grandfather is of the Tsénahabiłnii (Sleeping Rock) clan, and his paternal grandfather is of the Naakaii (Mexican people)."

Who let Nosferatu become a cornerstone of vampire cinema? Literally The Worst vampire representation ever put to celluloid. I tell people I’m a vampire and they don’t believe me because I’m not bald and surrounded by an army of rats. Vampires don’t look like that!!!!! And we can control rats obviously but we don’t have them follow us around.

Also, the movie was using the rats as a visual metaphor for the plague, perpetuating yet another harmful stereotype.

And!! Nosferatu doesn’t even mean vampire.

I wish Florence Stoker succeeded in getting every copy of that horrid film destroyed. If people want to understand what vampirism is really like there is already the perfect five film saga.

tldr; they’ve been making posts romanticizing vampirism for years. they talk about older vampire issues to fit in with the undead community but they’re mortal. block and report.

the word nosferatu was popularized by bram stoker’s novel to mean undead in romanian, he got it from a travelogue by emily gerard, no one’s really sure where she got it.

Good L*rd, I knew Miss Gerard! She was a dear friend of mine. 😃 Oh my, I remember Emily telling me all about her The Land Beyond The Forest research. It’s a funny story, actually, the etymology of Nosferatu.

I’ll tell you all about it in just a heartbeat— A sweet young damsel has wandered into my castle and I must perform my duties as hostess.

I’ll return shortly.
