Our Favorite Stories of 2024 — Colossal
SHARE

2024 was a year filled with incredible creativity and inspiration, with numerous remarkable projects and events capturing our attention. From art installations to cultural celebrations, there was no shortage of innovative work to explore and appreciate. As we reflect on the past year, we wanted to highlight some of our favorite articles that we had the privilege of sharing with our readers.

First up is Irina Werning’s captivating series, “Las Pelilargas,” which celebrates the long hair of Latin American women and girls. Over the course of 17 years, Werning traveled throughout the region, capturing the unique beauty and cultural significance of this practice through her stunning portraits.

Next, we take a closer look at the late artist L.V. Hull, whose home studio was recently added to the National Register of Historic Places. Hull, known for her found object assemblages and paintings, left a lasting impact on the art world and her hometown of Kosciusko, Mississippi.

Art and science collided in the Schmidt Ocean Institute’s Artist-at-Sea program, where artists like Ellie Hannon had the opportunity to work alongside scientists on oceanic expeditions. The program showcased the diverse ways in which art can be used to communicate scientific discoveries and environmental issues.

We also had the privilege of speaking with Nadya Tolokonnikova, one of the founding members of Pussy Riot, about her life as a performance artist and activist. Her candid reflections on art, activism, and the power of anonymity shed light on the importance of using creativity as a tool for social change.

In a touching exploration of grief and remembrance, we delved into the global “Wind Phone” movement, which provides a space for individuals to connect with lost loved ones through quiet reflection and storytelling. The project, initiated by garden designer Itaru Sasaki, has since inspired hundreds of similar installations around the world.

The World Press Photo contest offered a sobering look at the global crises of war, migration, and devastation, capturing the harsh realities faced by communities around the world. The powerful images served as a reminder of the importance of bearing witness to these difficult truths.

Artist Marilou Schultz brought together traditional Navajo weaving techniques and modern computer processor patterns in her striking tapestries, highlighting the intersection of ancient craft and contemporary technology. Her work serves as a bridge between the past and present, blending cultural traditions with modern innovations.

Finally, photographer Todd Antony documented the incredible journey of the “Cholitas Escaladoras,” a group of Aymara and Quechua women who have embraced the term “cholita” as a symbol of pride. Through his stunning images, Antony captured the strength and resilience of these women as they conquered the highest peak in the Americas.

Each of these articles represents a unique and powerful story, showcasing the diversity and creativity of the art world. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to share these remarkable projects with our readers and look forward to continuing to explore and celebrate the work of artists and creators in the year ahead.
