On the Complexity of Diasporic Living with Anina Major

Today on Clay in Color , we chat with Anina Major. She creates ceramic sculptures, mixed media installations, videos, and performances about the relationship between self and place from a Caribbean diasporic lens. In our interview, we talk about how she developed the language of plaiting in her vessels from traditions of straw weaving in the Bahamas and her love of materials. We also discuss guilt as a starting point for the investigations in her practice, how her feelings have changed as her practice evolved, and ideas of universality and specificity in the perspectives she shares. Furthermore, she tells us about the process of creating one of her installations and its symbolism.
