Speakers: Roberto Lugo, Ceramic Artist; Michelle Millar Fisher, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
Ceramic artist Roberto Lugo and curator Michelle Millar Fisher both use their creative platforms to address and expose social inequities. A self-described “ghetto potter,” Lugo speaks often of what the pottery wheel can teach us about resilience and overcoming obstacles, even tagging one wheel with the resounding message that “this machine kills hate.” Fisher navigates the world of craft as a curator, activist, and educator, spearheading initiatives like the Art+Museum Transparency Salary spreadsheet to advocate for equitable labor practices in the field.

Zhang’s work weaves in and around the intersections of design and craft fostering a practice within both Industrial Design and Ceramics. Fusing technology into traditional clay techniques, his pieces combine elements of furniture, sculpture, installation and experimentation. His forms are inspired from his travels, captured in his photography, from the mountains of Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, China to the interior volcanos of Iceland. In Fall 2021, Zhang will enter the Global Innovation Design (MA) at Royal College of Art in London in hopes to further his aesthetic fusions and broaden expectations of what clay can do.
This series highlights the intersections of art, design, theory, social justice and research in interviewed conversations within the RISD community, its faculty and students.
