Conversations

The copy here provides a general introduction to conversations. Why they are important and how you can take part. Over the last decade, clay has moved from the margins of contemporary art into a much more central position. Major galleries and museums have increasingly embraced ceramics, while artists across disciplines have turned to clay as a medium for thinking through questions of history, colonialism, identity, land, and the climate crisis. The discussion begins from this shift, asking not just why clay is so visible now, but what makes it such a powerful material for artists and curators today.
