Clay Roots: Exploring Ceramics Across the Black Diaspora

Today we are featuring Clay Roots: Exploring Ceramics Across the Black Diaspora with Malene Djenaba Barnett, Lydia C. Thompson, David MacDonald, and Ashlyn Pope about the rich tapestry of ceramics across the Black Diaspora. From the ancestral lands of Africa to the vibrant Caribbean and the diverse cultures of African Americans, join us as we explore the artistic expressions and design aesthetics that are rooted in clay. This conversation was recorded in person at the 2024 NCECA Coalescence Conference in Richmond, Virginia.
