Ausstellungsgespräch auf Englisch mit Lea S. McChesney

By commenting on specific examples in the exhibition, Lea S. McChesney examines Hopi pottery in the Aby Warburg collection in light of the context in which it was collected; iconography and interpretations; and the collection’s significance for the ongoing pottery tradition at First Mesa. Insights from contemporary Hopi potters with whom she has worked over several decades, including Nampeyo’s descendants, inform her discussion.
