Craft as Cultural Memory: Preserving Traditions in Object-Making

Join artists Roberto Lugo, Jordan Nassar, and Anina Major, for a panel discussion exploring how craft can be a vessel for preserving cultural memory. These artists transform intangible concepts like identity, history, and personal narratives into tangible objects that keep traditions and stories alive, and they blend past and present to create artifacts that ensure the endurance of their communities’ legacies. Through innovative techniques, they highlight how craft can sustain and honor cultural heritage, encouraging us to reflect on our role in maintaining these narratives for future generations.

This discussion will be moderated by Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy, curator, Objects: USA 2024.
