Curated by Kelly Connole, the main exhibition, \"To Be Human,\" features poignant works from renowned sculptors Cristina Córdova, Michelle Gregor, Ashlyn Pope, and Kensuke Yamada, who utilize the tactile medium of clay to confront memory, identity, and the physical body. Alongside it in the Galusha Gallery, Adam Chau’s solo exhibition, \"The Joy and Sorrow of Imagining,\" harnesses AI technology and traditional porcelain to build a fictional child named Billie, using sculpture to probe themes of queer family-making, digital manufacturing, and modern folklore.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Northern Clay Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50268516188417,"sku":"OpeningReceptionReg10022026","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/8393\/5745\/files\/TBH-JoySorrowWebTiles_Artboard1copy11.png?v=1788378046","url":"https:\/\/www.nccshop.org\/products\/opening-reception-registration-to-be-human-the-joy-and-sorrow-of-imagining","provider":"Northern Clay Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
