The Culture Making Web site is almost exactly one year old, and today we begin what I hope will be a regular new feature of the site: introducing a guest editor who will stretch our cultural horizons in new directions. Christy Tennant is one of those alarmingly talented people you meet in New York, where she works at International Arts Movement and hosts a seriously entertaining and engaging podcast that has recently featured interviews with Billy Collins, Susan Isaacs, Nicholas Wolterstorff, and (as one untimely born) me.

Christy will be joining Nate and me for the next month—longer if we can persuade her to stay around—contributing her keen eye for cultural developments near and far, such as her first post, based on her personal experience with the Uyghur people of western China. As this picture of Christy dancing at a Uyghur wedding shows, her horizons of possibility are wide. Welcome, Christy!
