The Black History Museum & Cultural Center of Virginia will host an artist talk titled “Re(CLAY)mation of Collaboration Intersections” 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 8.

Lydia C. Thompson, a mixed media artist and professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, will discuss the history of African-American ceramics and the inspiration behind her works, “Like the Dust Settles in Layers, So Does the Story” and the 2024 NCECA Multicultural Fellowship exhibitions.

This program offers a unique opportunity to gain insights into the intersections of art, culture and history through the lens of a leading figure in contemporary ceramics. The event is part of BHMVA’s community access programming. For more information, visit blackhistorymuseum.org.
