THE DR. ALLEN W. ROOT CONTEMPORARY ART DISTINGUISHED LECTURESHIP: Artist Sana Musasama

For more than four decades, ceramic artist, activist, and educator Sana Musasama has traveled throughout the world, creating works that range from intimate ceramic objects to series of large biomorphic forms that often take ten years to complete. Musasama’s journeying and interests in women’s studies and Indigenous artistic practices inform her art, as does her international advocacy work on behalf of women. In this lecture, Musasama will discuss her installation in the Hood Museum exhibition Immersive Worlds: Real and Imagined and reflect on her career, sharing the challenges she has faced as well as her ambitions for the next chapter. A reception will follow in Russo Atrium.
