2013: Year of the Spy Boy

Calling All Spy Boys and Photographers!  
Chiefs and Queens are among the most publicly celebrated positions in the Mardi Gras Indian Nation, but the real story is much more complicated. The Mardi Gras Indian Hall of Fame will celebrate a different gang position each year beginning with Spy Boys in 2013.

Our August 2013 "Blue Linen Monday" exhibition during Mardi Gras Indian Hall of Fame Week will focus on photographs of Spy Boys.

Preference will be given to photos submitted by Spy Boys by photographers working in the area of cultural documentation. Photographs may be from any era. As always absolutely no photographs accepted by photographers who cannot identify the subject of her/his photograph(s). 

Please begin to submit names and contact info of Spy Boys who have masked at least three times to Cherice Harrison-Nelson via Facebook message or via email to queenreesie@aol.com.

It promises to be an exciting year!
