Summary

This week Bob Acton @bobacton joined by ceramic and installation artist Heidi McKenzie , whose work uses clay and image as archive—exploring ancestry, migration, race, and belonging through powerful abstract portraiture. From Reclaimed: Indo-Caribbean HerStories to the Indian Ceramics Triennale in Delhi, Heidi’s work reminds us that ceramics can hold memory, heal, and tell the stories history forgets.
