It's possible—likely, even—that when the workday ends and the lights flick off, whispers rise. Here in the collections vault at the Indian Arts Research Center, in Santa Fe, a centuries-old water jar tells its many tales to a contemporary pot, which is still formulating one of its own. ⁠ ⁠ Arrayed on shelves that reach nearly to the ceiling of the IARC, the nearly 5,000 pieces have a lot to say—about their makers, their communities, their loves, and their sorrows. But over the last century, other people have done the talking for them.⁠ ⁠ That changed on July 31, when the IARC, part of the School for Advanced Research, joined the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture (MIAC) and the New York City–based Vilcek Foundation to present "Grounded in Clay: The Spirit of Pueblo Pottery." (It runs through May 29, 2023.)⁠ ⁠ 📷@katerussellphoto⁠ 📝@katenelson.nm⁠ 🔗in bio to read more⁠ ⁠ #newmexicomagazine #newmexicotrue #pueblopottery #nativeart #museumofindianartsandculture #vilcekfoundation #indianartsresearchcenter #nativepottery #museumexhibits #nmart #newmexicoart #artofinstagram #art #newmexicohistory
