The program will include ASL interpretation.About the SpeakersKathy Butterly is a sculptor who has reimagined the tradition of studio ceramics for nearly four decades. She begins with a traditional ceramic form, which she calls her 鈥渃anvas,鈥� and twists, compresses, and reshapes it into expressive and unexpected sculptures. Layered glazes and repeated firings give her works rich color and texture, creating pieces that can feel both playful and unsettling. Rather than working on a large scale, Butterly focuses on small, highly individual sculptures that suggest movement, personality, and emotion. Born in 1963 in Amityville, New York, she has exhibited widely in the United States and abroad. Her work is held in major museum collections, including The Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She lives and works in New York and Maine.Elena Sisto is a painter known for her figurative works that center the lived experiences of women. Her paintings explore identity, memory, and the nuances of everyday life. She earned her BA in Art from Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design and also studied at the New York Studio School, the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, and Yale Norfolk. Sisto has received numerous honors, including a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Biennial Grant, a John Simon Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship, and National Endowment for the Arts Visual Artist Fellowships. She has been the subject of solo exhibitions at institutions including the Maier Museum, the Greenville County Museum of Art, the American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center, and the Miami-Dade Museum of Art and Design. Her work is held in public and private collections, and she lives and works in New York City and Milan, New York.Matthew Wilt is a ceramic artist and the Robert Davison Chair in Art and Associate Professor of Ceramics at 扣扣傳媒. His work engages material history, surface, and architectural influence through sculptural and vessel-based forms. He earned his BFA in Ceramics and Art Education from Penn State University and his MFA from Ohio University, and early professional experiences at Boston Valley Terra Cotta and Moravian Pottery and Tileworks shaped his sustained interest in plaster mold making, imitative glaze surfaces, and architectural ornament. Wilt has exhibited nationally and internationally, and his work has received numerous honors, including grants from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the Illinois Arts Council. His pieces are held in public collections such as the de Young Museum, the Crocker Art Museum, and the Ceramic Research Center at Arizona State University. He lives and works in New York.

Tang Teaching Museum Somers: Join us Thursday, April 23, at 6 pm, for a talk by Afro-Caribbean interdisciplinary artist and scholar Patricia Encarnaci贸n, entitled Stories for Post-Coloniality: Memorias, Cimarronas, & Un Quilombo Tropical (Maroon Memories). Encarnaci贸n鈥檚 work challenges colonial tropes within African diasporic culture, with a particular focus on the Caribbean, approached through an anti-colonial lens.Encarnaci贸n will talk about their research-driven project, which incorporates ceramics, video, and sound. It is grounded in the premise that we have not yet reached 鈥減ostcoloniality鈥� but continue to live within an extended afterlife of Western coloniality. The series proposes building mnemonic 鈥渃apsules鈥� of cultural technology, archives, and monuments with Maroon communities (self-liberated slaves who escaped and established free Black settlements in secluded or inhospitable areas) whose histories have been forced into invisibility within plantation economies: bateyes, palenques, and quilombos.This talk is supported by the International Affairs Program, Latin American, Caribbean and Latinx Studies Program, Black Studies Program, MDOCS, and the Tang Museum.About the ArtistPatricia Encarnaci贸n (she/they) is an Afro-Caribbean interdisciplinary artivist and scholar based in New York City. Their work challenges colonial tropes in Caribbean culture through an anti-colonial lens. Encarnaci贸n has participated in residencies and programs including The Shed, Smack Mellon (Van Lier Fellow), MuseumsQuartier Vienna, Kovent Catalonia, and the Silver Arts Project at the World Trade Center. Their work has been recognized by CIFO, the NALAC Fund for the Arts, and the Centro Le贸n Jim茅nez Biennial, where they received the C谩diz, Spain, cultural immersion prize, and a fellowship in Martinique through the Tropiques Atrium Caribbean art program. Exhibitions include Documenta 15, the Tribeca Artists Award Program, the Hudson River Museum, the Museum of Latin American Art, the NADA Art Fair, and the Washington Project for the Arts. Alongside their artistic practice, Encarnaci贸n has led curatorial projects with New York University, Centro de la Imagen, the Bronx Museum, ChaShaMa, WOPHA Miami, and alternative spaces across New York City, Miami, and the Dominican Republic.
