| Abstract | The NCECA panel, Listening Louder with Clay: Conversation as a Clay Tool, presented the themes of seminars, webinars and workshops that have taken place since 2020 involving the Ceramics Research Centre-UK from the University of Westminster. The project began with online forums involving academics and artists, curators and critics from the fields of contemporary clay in South Korea, Japan, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Canada, the USA, the UK and across Europe. In 2022 an exploratory series of webinars were held online, convened by members of the Ceramics Research Centre-UK at the University of Westminster, London, and Linda Sormin of NYU. Contributors to these were: curators Susan Cross of MASS MoCA; Sequoia Miller of the Gardiner Museum, Toronto; Dr Jareh Das, an Independent Curator who works between, the UK and West Africa, and UK-based theorist Catherine Roche. Contributing artists were: US-based Rose B. Simpson, Ramekon O’Arwisters, Kahlil Irving and Cassils, Samuel Nortey from Ghana, Neha Kudchadkar from India, Nia Gautama from Indonesia, and Matt Smith who works between Ireland and the UK. Recent workshops and seminars have been convened by the CRC-UK with New York University (NYU), the Indian Ceramics Triennial (ICT) and Kwame Nkrumah University of Science & Technology (KNUST), Ghana. The panel members were: Tessa Peters (Moderator), Prof. Clare Twomey, Prof. Christie Brown (CRC-UK); Dr Samuel Nortey (KNUST, Ghana); Linda Sormin (NYU); and Madhvi Subrahmanian (ICT) The themes discussed by the 2024 NCECA panel included: The value of the project has been a direct exchange of ideas between people who don’t get the chance to meet and talk as a matter of course. It has proved an excellent way of helping us all question and extend our knowledge and understanding of clay. |
