Aït Morrhad of the Imdrhas, Upper Dadès. The hairstyle is distinguished by its exceptional width. They call it aquzi. Its size is created by rigid, long bean-shaped paddings. The ornament for this hairstyle is a small chain holding a few pendants on the left side. The chin tattoo widens into a triangle formed by two oblique fringed lines.

The Tatter Textile Library in New York put out a call for volunteers to stitch the names of the 146 garment workers who died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire on March 25, 1911. They sewed all the names into a banner, which was placed on the site of the fire in commemoration. On Instagram the Library wrote:

In this alarming era of callous governmental deregulation at home, continued abuses against textile workers globally, and rampant anti-immigrant sentiment, our community has found potent meaning and purpose in this collective project and is excited to unfurl our banner at this year’s commemoration.
