The Clay Studio hosts a free full-day symposium to explore the art and ideas behind Making Place Matter, the studio’s inaugural exhibition in its new Kensington location.
This hybrid in-person and virtual event includes a moderated discussion with Making Place Matter artists Molly Hatch, Ibrahim Said, and Pew Fellow Kukuli Velarde, a panel on creative placemaking with Center director of Exhibitions & Public Interpretation Kelly Shindler, a performance by Velarde, and a hands-on activity with clay.
Making Place Matter brings together original artworks by ceramists Hatch, Said, and Velarde that contemplate the complex meanings of “place” and consider personal history and cultural memory.
