The series brings together works by artists doing intersectional work and exploring common themes of identity, culture, and community. In 2020, Making in Between: Contemporary Chinese American Ceramics featured works by six first- and second-generation artists who shared themes of cultural heritage, identity, language, politics, migration, and displacement.<\/p>\n<p>As MIB: <em>Queer Clay<\/em> shifts the lens of the Making in Between series from national heritage to explore broader influences on identity, it centers queerness as an unapologetic presence. Mounting an exhibition that focuses solely on work by queer artists, AMOCA brings less familiar narratives to the forefront of ceramics. MIB: <em>Queer Clay<\/em> features works by historical artists, whose identities have remained largely unseen until recently, alongside contemporary makers.&#8217; &#8211; AMOCA<\/p>\n<p><em>[The copyright of the video above remains with the original holder and it is used here for the purpose of education, comparison and criticism only.]<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video (55:51): a conversation between Alex Anderson and Julia Kunin, two of the talented artists behind the current exhibition Making in Between: Queer Clay at AMOCA, California.
