Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Joey Quiñones. They use fibers and ceramics in their mixed-media sculpture to highlight the domestic and cultural histories of African and Caribbean Americans. In our interview we talk about their prior career as an English professor, the role of art in understanding identity, and the work they made while at the Kohler residency. To see examples of their work you can check them out on Instagram at @jquinones_art.   NCECA will be hosting their first ever podcast room at this year’s conference in Cincinnati. Thursday March 16th and Friday March 17th there will be six hour-long live tapings of popular ceramic podcasts. I’ll be hosting an episode titled Taking an Environmental Approach to Making with Marianne Chénard, Julia Galloway, and Ché R. Ochtli on Friday at 2:30 in room 212. Please drop in to experience this new interactive format for discussion at NCECA.
