ARTIST TALK | Amy Sanders de Melo| Clay for Healing Ourselves and Others: Perspectives from an Artist Losing Her Vision

Join us for a special in-person artist talk with Visiting Artist Amy Sanders de Melo. Sanders de Melo will share her personal journey navigating disability and access, offering insight into how these experiences shape her creative practice. Through storytelling and advocacy, she explores how art can foster more inclusive and equitable spaces, and how disability awareness and justice are central to her work.

As a Colombian-American ceramic artist and educator with vision and hearing loss, Sanders de Melo strives to create work that speaks to the resiliency of the human spirit. She utilizes Braille as a way of telling stories, encouraging meditation, and creating space for grieving and healing. Her wheel-thrown porcelain work from my Invisible Words series features hand written Braille messages that encourage reflecting on one’s own humanity and the necessity of empathy and empowerment for all individuals.
