I am happy to share that Tontouristen’s film “Deposit” got selected to be screened during the Gjon Mili International Video Art Festival in Korçë, Albania.
Opening 15th of November, 18:30 at GAD Gallery in Korçë, Albania.
It is a pleasure to share the invitation to the opening of the European Ceramic Context 2024 on the island of Bornholm in Denmark! Tontouristen Kollektiv will exhibit the work Deposit. The work explores Europe’s biggest clay mining area in the Westerwald region in Germany. The triennial is an international platform for exchange through inviting artists and makers from all over Europe to exhibit, promote and discuss the ceramic disciplines and crafts at the European level. The framework of this year’s European Ceramic Context is devoted to sustainable practices in contemporary ceramics. The participation in the triennial is an important milestone for our collective Tontouristen and we are looking forward to extend our network within the European ceramic community as well as fostering discourses about clay mining in Europe and clay as a finite resource.
The earth’s challenges are our challenges. European Ceramic Context 2024 is devoted to sustainable practices in contemporary ceramics. Humanity’s pervasive intervention in the planet’s ecosystem is now all too evident in the global environment. There is an urgent need for change in our way of looking at the world, where an overuse of the planet’s resources has led to irreparable biodiversity loss, imbalance, and a severe climate crisis. Everyone is accountable for the problems. Within our field, we must be part of the solution and create a future of sustainable ceramic practices and circular thinking.
