Check out my recent conversation with ceramicist Donté K. Hayes, where we discuss our interest in vessels, the color black, and speaking with our respective ancestors.
Correspondence Archive is an ongoing collection of written conversations/interviews between racialized artists talking about each other’s work and careers. Our priority is to center the voices and practices of those who have been traditionally marginalized by the art world. Collectively, these conversations will become a way to share and archive a diverse and nuanced range of ideas and individual practices from communities that have often been flattened or erased.
Correspondence Archive is organized by Alex Paik.
