*This Keynote was recorded in the studio without a live audience.
The exhibition "Celia Vasquez Yui: The Council of the Mother Spirits of the Animals" was on view from August 26 to December 17, 2023, at the Johnson Museum of Art.
In October 2023, the Peruvian ceramic artists Celia Vasquez Yui and her daughter Diana Ruiz Vasquez visited Ithaca for a series of programs in conjunction with the exhibition, including a public, hands-on workshop at the Museum and this interview by Ananda Cohen-Aponte, Associate Professor of History of Art, and Juliana Fagua Arias, Ph.D. student in Art History.
The exhibition was supported by the Russell ’77 and Diana Hawkins Exhibition Fund, the Hartell-Cattarulla Endowment for Exhibitions, as well as generous gifts from Ira Drukier ’66 and Gale Drukier and from Richard F. Tucker ’50 and Genevieve M. Tucker.
