Fractured Foundations: 250 Years of American History

Coinciding with the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, ceramic artists reconsider historical events through the lens of contemporary art. About For this exhibition, AMOCA invited ceramic artists to reconsider a historical event through the lens of contemporary art, challenging historical narratives and offering a more accurate perspective on our country. The work selected for this exhibition demonstrates resilience, injustice, triumph, and the impact of federal, state, and/or local policies, while also reflecting upon or referencing an event in US history. The exhibition has both a curated and a call for work component. Artists selected for the exhibition are Natalia Arbaelez, Lisa Cecere, Nuala Creed, Connor Czora, Chotsani Elaine Dean, Reniel Del Rosario, Morel Doucet, Marianna Haniger, Irving Huang, Salvador Jiménez-Flores, Akinsanya Kambon, Cathy Lu, Roberto Lugo, Michele Martinez, Bianca MacPherson, Kristy Moreno, Mercy Neumark, Janet Neuwalder, Peter Olson, Alexis Oltmer-Bergmann, Vick Quezada, Jenny Rosen, Jos Sances, Nathan Stanfield, Kukuli Velarde, and Patti Warashina.
