Description

Today on Clay in Color, we chat with Roberto Lugo. He creates portrait vessels of Black and Brown icons that incorporate graffiti and Hip-Hop iconography and references to historical ceramics. In our interview, we talk about making Lugo's legacy about giving back to his community and making ceramics a more accessible medium to combat systemic racism. We also discuss the risk in portraiture, anxiety around being in the spotlight, and how coming from "the ghetto" has influenced his practice.
