Sana Musasama’s deeply felt sculptures reflect her unrelenting interest in and keen sensitivity to the human condition worldwide that she has witnessed as it played out in life dramas that tragically are accepted as communal customs. Her earlier work focused attention on cruel societal secrets and practices—female genital mutilation, foot-binding—with serious physical and emotional consequences.

Musasama is a native of New York City. She holds a bachelor’s degree from the City University of New York and an MFA from Alfred State College of Ceramics, Alfred, New York. She has done specialized ceramic study with the Archie Bray Foundation, Helena, Montana; the Gakium Designer College, Tokyo, Japan; the Tuscarora International School of Ceramics, Tuscarora, Nevada, and Mende Pottery, Mendeland, Sierra Leone. Musasama has taught and lectured on ceramics throughout the world, including Vietnam, Thailand, South India, West Africa, France, Netherlands, Japan, China and Costa Rica.  This summer, she has been teaching ceramics to Israeli and Palestinian artists at the Givat Haviva Institute in Israel.

She will be conducting hands-on workshops on October 9 from 9 am - 1 pm and October 10 from 10 am - 1 pm. For more, visit https://sana-musasama.com/her website.
