Daniela invited both ceramists and non-ceramists to come together, share conversations about poetry, and collectively learn or teach the fundamentals of throwing a vessel—embracing the joy of making. This communal act of throwing vessels serves as a reflection on so-called “crafts,” using the practice of centering clay as a metaphor for grounding ourselves within an institution that persistently places us at its margins. Through poems spinning on the wheel, Tinoco encourages viewers to envision a future that moves beyond the pursuit of “progress” and instead embraces alternative ways of living and creating art in community.
