(in)Visible is a show by the group "We Are Not Invisible," a community of artists hoping to break the silence within our world, in particular the clay community, and engage in honest discussions and education about sensitive and often taboo topics, beginning with an exhibition during the 2018 NCECA (National Council on Education in Ceramic Arts) conference in Pittsburgh PA. We are raising funds to help make this possible.

 

Our Statement

As the 2016 election year and beyond have highlighted, deep currents of belief, experience, and culture divide our world. This exhibition highlights female and gender non-binary artists working in ceramics, who in some way feel invisible to the dominant culture. These artists represent a marginalized group in the field, often unrecognized and belonging to specific groups of race, gender, culture, religion, and/or physical and mental illnesses (commonly termed as "invisible"). For each of us, art is our voice and our way to make seen and heard what we are all too often told to keep silent about.

 

What We're Doing

(in)Visible is not simply a show. As part of NCECA 2018 we will be represented on two panel discussions, and have both Facebook and Instagram pages that feature artists from all media and genres beyond the original group in an effort to bring even more voices to the conversation.

 

Why We Need Your Help

We are asking for your help for shipping and travel expenses for artists, publicity expenses, and hopefully the ability to publish a book of the work included along with other pertinent artwork. Hope to see you all in Pittsburg, and please follow us on Facebook and Instagram at @wearentinvisible.

 

Note on Rewards: In addition to offering ceramic objects, we're offering "experiences" educational engaging sessions via online platforms like Skype, Periscope, Facebook Live, Google Hangouts, and other video chat apps. These can be one-on-one or for groups. We're happy to facilitate these for your non-profit board, K-12 classroom, resident artists, clay clubs, community studios; you can even donate them to your favorite group! We're very focused on not just art but education and creating dialogue. If there's an experience that you think we could provide that you'd be interested in, please contact us at invisiblenceca@gmail.com.
