The Ceramics Research Centre-UK has partnered with international collaborators: New York University Steinhardt, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science & Technology, Kumasi, Ghana, and the Indian Ceramics Triennale. 

The conversations make visible many of the challenges of clay practice, clay’s social and economic ecosystems, its societal value and cultural significance.

Dr Tasneem Zakaria Mehta Director Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum, Mumbai and Dr Tristram Hunt Director of the V&A in London reflect on the roles of their institutions.

This newspaper will bring you closer to a contemporary understanding of clay practices that are complex, vital and ambitious.

Join us for the launch at the V&A with a live discussion panel between Mumbai and South Kensington. Find out more here.
