Sally D. Francisco Gallery (opening daily 10am – 6pm)

More Than That: Diversity within Diversity

Guest curator Roberto Lugo knows the frustration of being artistically pigeonholed by the color of his skin. More Than That: Diversity within Diversity brings together artists of color working in a multiplicity of genres and forms that defy cultural expectations frequently imposed upon artists of color. Lugo explains, “the artists invited not only represent artists of color currently working in ceramics, but the diversity of discourse taking place within our communities.” Presented currently with the 53rd annual NCECA conference in Minneapolis, Minn., this exhibition embodies Claytopia’s conception of a “restless yearning for a more livable, just and meaningful world.” Exhibiting artists include Syd Carpenter, Morel Doucet, Ezenwa, Courtney Leonard, Roberto Lugo, Malcolm Mobutu Smith, Sana Musasama, Autumn Wallace, and Diego Valles.
Creating socially engaged work, these artists push the field of ceramics to participate with the communities in which artists find themselves.

– Trisha Kyner, curator

Visual Voices: Truth Narratives
2018-03-14 10:00 - 2018-08-18 18:00 (America/New_York) | Society for Contemporary Craft, 2100 Smallman St, Pittsburgh, PA, 15222, United States
Visual Voices: Truth Narratives is a NCECA ANNUAL EXHIBITION. Guest curator Winnie Owens-Hart has invited artists Syd Carpenter, Roberto Lugo, Sana Musasama, Reginald Pointer, and Janathel Shaw to frame the curatorial concerns of Visual Voices: Truth Narratives. 37 selected ceramic artists create powerful works that speak in a variety of visual volumes that touch on personal and global issues and emotions. Their narratives, whether literal or abstract, acknowledge that intolerance spawn racial, religious, class, and gender biases in every part of the world. The sense of interconnectedness created by modern media has transformed what was once an ancestral community to now a global community.
Our stories, re-told in clay, are borderless. Historically, the narrative ceramic object has engaged with the retelling of events through visual imagery codification. Clay works dating back thousands of years have enabled archaeologists to theorize on ceremonial, spiritual, and utilitarian societal markers that document the social and cultural contexts of their makers’ communities. Makers have continued the creation of narrative works using clay. Contemporary narrative ceramic artists, compared to their historical counterparts, are visually bombarded through media systems. Some work is created based solely on the artist’s personal experiences while others are influenced by what they see through the media; many today are shaped by both.
The exhibition reception will be held on Thursday, March 15, 6 – 9 PM.
Exhibiting Artist includes:
Jesse Albrecht, Crista Ames, Natalia Arbelaez, Sharif Bey, Jill Birschbach, David Bogus, Abigale Brading, Angelique Brickner, Nora Brodnicki, Jim Budde, Syd Carpenter, Bryan & Brad Caviness, Sean Clute, Tara Daly, Matthew Dercole, Yewen Dong, Elhan Ergin, Richard Freiwald, Dennis Gerwin, Ronnie Gould, Jocelyn Howard, Hsin-Yi Huang, Stacey Johnson, Marsha Karagheusian, Ahrong Kim, Rob Kolhouse, Bethany Krull, Roberto Lugo, Patricia Maloney, Sana Musasama, Kelly & Kyle Phelps, Reginald Pointer, Kristine Poole, Janathel Shaw, Lydia Thompson.

Visual Voices: Truth Narratives is sponsored by National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA). Media sponsored by 90.5 WESA and 91.3 WYEP. (As of November 2017)
NCECA promotes and improves the ceramic arts through education, community-building, research and creative inspiration.

ArtPrize 8-Girl Soldiers
2016-09-21 10:00 - 2016-10-09 20:00 (America/Detroit) | Fountain Street Church, 24 Fountain St. N.E., Grand Rapids, MI, 49503, United States
From September 21 to October 9, 2016, Musasama’s “Girl Soldiers” series is in an ArtPrize 8 group show at Fountain Street Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Sculptures inspired by her late 1970s stay among the Mende in Sierra Leone are on display.
“The Mende people embraced me as if I were their child. The girls were responsible for educating me on village life and how to be safe. They taught me how to cook on hot stones, wash my clothing in the river on river stones. They taught me their songs and showed me how to dance like a woman. They loved me as I loved them. One day, the elders simply told me, ‘Sister Sana you must return to your country, we will not be able to protect you.’ I did not understand at the time, but I can still see the seriousness and fear in their eyes. Soon after I left Mende Land, a civil war ravaged the land and killed most of the people I loved. I have often wondered what happened. I use to get letters and would read of horror after horror. One day the letters stopped,” wrote Musasama in a crowdfunding campaign to pay for shipping expenses for the heavy art objects. She succeeded in reaching a $1000 goal, and CrowdRise matched these funds. At ArtPrize in 2015, Musasama won its American Civil Liberties Union Award for her “Unspeakable” series installation about female genital mutilation, work also based on her travels in Africa.

Whispers and Echoes ExhibitionOct 26-Nov 14 “The earth carries the memories built on the back of oppressed/unrepresented people and their buried bones throughout the world. At Ma Lai, Vietnam, I walk on the site of a massacre, where the lives of hundreds of women and babies were taken in revenge. I touch the soil. At the Holocaust Museum, I look at the hundreds of pairs of eyeglasses, shoes gold-capped teeth, and briefcases and I wonder who they belonged to. In Rwanda, a young woman tells how she searched for her family at a mass burial site. I have worked in Cambodia for 8 years with young girls who were former sex slaves, wondering who enslaved them and walked the killing fields, with their fragments of what once were human beings. I have witnessed the burial of young girls who have suffered genital cutting.
Will it every stop? These works are meant to slow us down, make us look closely at our world, silence us for the moment.”
The Unknown/Unnamed, and The Unspeakable series address concerns with war, displacement, violence towards women, poverty, genocide and slavery.

About the Exhibition

In recent years, the human figure has returned to center stage in the work of artists around the world. Body & Soul: New International Ceramics underscores the power of the figure to convey strong emotions, and also to the accessibility of the ceramic medium. Through clay the figure becomes the catalyst for addressing the emotional impact of contemporary pressures that confront our society today. Each work, inspired by a personal incident or symbolic tale, expresses a deep emotional identity, contrasting societal, political, and personal views on themes such as anxiety, bias, mortality and memory.
Sana Musasama exhibits her sculptural ceramics, the Unspeakable Series, at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York until March 2, 2014.
