THE flying of kites at Easter could be deemed a ‘unique Guyanese tradition’ whereby creativity and art become one, as colourful kites would fly across the sky while being piloted by a sting.

Lionel Conway, 61, explained that since he was a little boy growing up in Guyana with his brother, Easter was always an exciting time.
Conway, who now lives in New York, explained that he travels back to his homeland every Easter to go kite-flying with members of his family who live here.

And he doesn’t come empty-handed as he would often bring back some of the most unusual and unique kites he could lay his hands on.

The locus (dimensional) kite is one of Conway’s favourites. So, too, is the winged box kite, as is the double-star box kite which he brought with him this time around from New York.
