Written In Clay: Subtexts, Power & Ambiguity

Our panel presentation “Written in Clay” was selected by NCECA for the annual 2020 Conference. Cancelled due to the Pandemic, the event redesigned and held virtually for the first time ever in March 2021.

It was exciting to moderate this dynamic discussion with such brilliant artists. We pre-recorded a 45 minute presentation of our work via Powerpoint and an edited Zoom conversation, and then went live for 15 minutes of Q&A during the conference. (Screenshot from the Virtual Panel on March 20)

“The nature of text is evolving. Via personal, political and poetic lenses, we will examine the essence and function of words through ceramic forms. In this panel, we will discuss the role of ambiguity, influence, and potential pathways to connection and disconnection.” —NCECA catalog description
