Japan’s ceramic tradition is both ancient and revered, with several thousand potters making a living from their craft at present. This exhibition examines how utilitarian objects are evolving to suit modern lifestyles. We will explore how, from the late 1940s onward, groups of artists left utility behind and adopted sculpture as direct personal expression to promote the public perception of ceramics as high art.

Our Bodies Are Memories of Our Bodies: Siapo ma Solo

siapo—indigenous Samoan barkcloth abstraction—and solo—poetry in the Samoan genre and worldview, here composed in English—by Fa’afafine, non-binary Samoan artist Dan Taulapapa McMullin. Printed on cloth with ink painting, these works embody the fa’asamoa understanding that the body itself is an archive, carrying ancestral and personal memory through the mana of social and environmental relationships.
