79th Scripps College Ceramic Annual: The Idea of Feeling Brown

The Scripps College Ceramic Annual, the longest continuous exhibition of contemporary ceramics in the nation, enters its 79th year with The Idea of Feeling Brown. Curated by Jasmine Baetz, Lincoln Visiting Artist in Ceramics at Scripps, the exhibition features new and recent ceramic works by 13 artists from the United States and Canada: Lucero Aguirre, Karla Ekatherine Canseco, Reniel Del Rosario, Magdolene Dykstra, Habiba El-Sayed, Raheleh Filsoofi, Joanna Keane Lopez, Heidi McKenzie, noé olivas, Claudia V. Solórzano, Christian Vistan, Patrice Renee Washington, and Xia Zhang.

Looking to the work of performance theorist José Esteban Muñoz for inspiration, Baetz has selected artworks that engage with his writings on brownness and identity. Many of the pieces demonstrate innovative approaches to ceramics, incorporating digital media, performance, or immersive installations.
