I Am Clay is a community-curated exhibition of hand-built figurative pottery from Acoma Pueblo, and brings together 120 powerful works centered on the women artists who have shaped and sustained this tradition for generations. Tracing historic Puebloan roots and the influence of tourism during the first half of the 20th century, the exhibition reveals clay as culture, memory, and lived experience.
