Among the most
interesting documentation of the Panama Hotel Paper Kite
Residency in 2003 is the set of interviews with each
artist conducted by Programming Assistant,
Courtney de
Rouen,
whom Drachen was lucky to have on staff at the time.
Fluent in German as well as English, she was able to
interview the five German-speaking artists in their
native language and then translate each interview.

To encourage the close reading these interviews deserve, Drachen has devised a quick quiz about the creative sounds (as approximated by Courtney) the artists used to represent some aspect of the kite making or flying process. Match each sound with the kite artist who made it, and e-mail to information@drachen.org by April 30, 2006. All correct entries will be entered in a drawing for a set of three color screened t-shirts, by graphic artist Kiyomi Okawa, honoring the kite flights of the Wrights, the yakko, and Cody.
