Shannon Hebert Waldman – Panel: “Touch and Tooling: A Social and Cultural Perspective on Craft and Engagement in Contemporary Ceramics” at the College of Art Association Conference 2018

Shannon Hebert Waldman received funding from the Enrichment Fund to travel to the College of Art Association Conference 2018, where she was part of a panel titled “Touch and Tooling: A Social and Cultural Perspective on Craft and Engagement in Contemporary Ceramics”. This conversation was the product of a year of collaborative research. Shannon’s part of the panel discussed civics and ceramics and used historic precedents such as the Ostracon (a ceramic shard used for voting) and contemporary projects such as The Democratic Cup and Cuplomacy that use surface design and participatory practices to highlight today’s political conversations.
