Online Webinar
This presentation will discuss how Pueblo pottery demonstrates a living tradition and lifeway tied to the landscape that is tangibly traced for a millennium. This point is critical amongst the backdrop of the Indigenous Environmental Justice movement, which advocates for the protection of American Indian ancestral homelands from pollution and extraction, as demonstrated by figures such as Dina Gilio-Whitaker, Mary Kathryn Nagle, Robin Kimmerer, and Max Liboiron.
In contrast, previous ceramic studies focus on quantitative analysis from the fields of archaeology, geology, chemistry, physics, and materials sciences whereas anthropology, archaeology, and art history focus on the process-of-making. Through analyzing clay as a material with multi-layered meanings for cultural, spiritual, and scientific inquiry, this work seeks to understand pottery as a relational process between people and place.
This webinar is suitable for lifelong learners from high school students to adults; this lesson is free.
