Highpoint Editions Artist Adebunmi Gbadebo is featured in an exhibition titled Body Vessel Clay: Black Women, Ceramics & Contemporary Art at The Ford Foundation Gallery in New York!
The exhibition unites “three generations of groundbreaking Black women artists whose work with clay explores the medium’s multilayered cultural and political significance.” Featuring a selection of more than fifty works across a large variety of mediums including ceramics, film, photography, and archives, “the exhibition draws connections between the legacy of renowned Nigerian potter Ladi Dosei Kwali (1925-1984) and contemporary artistic practice. Through these lines of influence and innovation, the show traces how Black women artists have transformed the field of ceramics over the past seventy years—disrupting conventions, challenging hierarchies, and expanding the possibilities of clay as a medium.
On view September 10th through December 6th, 2025.
