CSArt Hits NCECA Conference 2K15! Providence, RI

3/28/2015

 

Inspiring Lecture by Emerging Ceramic Artist: Roberto Lugo

NCECA 2015  [National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts] is in Providence, RI this year, and it's been amazing. The ceramic work here is incredible, the demonstrations by professional ceramicists are super interesting and helpful, and the lectures are inspiring and challenging. What has struck me the most is Roberto Lugo's emerging artist talk. It gave me chills, brought me to tears, made me laugh, and challenged me to consider the power that I have as a ceramic artist to make a difference. Lugo is not an ordinary ceramicist, describing himself as, “potter, activist, culture-maker, rapper, poet and educator.”  I could go on talking about him and his work for hours, but I'll let him do that for me. 
Watch his video below! 
Incredible, right? Here are some of my particular favorites of his works below. Check out more at his website: http://robertolugostudio.com/ and get inspired. 
Roberto Lugo has sparked a fire in the ceramic community here at NCECA, and I know I am personally ready to bring that drive, passion, and ambition back to Clemson and to our community here. 
SPOILER ALERT! 
While the CSArt team is busily working on the current share, we are also planning the upcoming shares! For this upcoming share, we have been inspired by the "STEM to STEAM" initiative championed by Rhode Island School of Design. This initiative seeks to put Art and Design in their place of importance in a time when innovation is most needed in our society. Frustratingly, "innovation remains tightly coupled with Science, Technology, Engineering and Math – the STEM subjects. Art + Design are poised to transform our economy in the 21st century just as science and technology did in the last century. We need to add Art + Design to the equation — to transform STEM into STEAM." (http://stemtosteam.org/). 
In hopes of Clemson University adopting this movement as many institutions, corporations, and individuals around the nation are doing, we are basing our next share theme off of this. 
Details will be announced upcoming, so stay tuned, but in the spirit of Lugo's empowering talk, I just had to let you know how Clemson CSArt is striving to empower not only ceramic artists, but artists and innovators everywhere. Art can make a real, tangible difference. 

Thank you Roberto Lugo for your inspiring talk and your incredible passion and heart. 
- Brittany Wilund
