On Dancing with Clay with Maya Vivas

Today on Clay in Color, we chat with Maya Vivas. They create sinuous sculptures that are “moving but not moving” and behave like autonomous bodies. In our interview, we talk about Vivas’s background as a performer and how that influences how they work with ceramics, the swirling language that has become signature to their work, and their clay performances. We also discuss how they center play and pleasure even when addressing issues that affect Black and queer communities. Furthermore, they share about life in London, and their return to painting.
