One definition of Diaspora is: ‘the spread or dissemination of something originally confined to a local, homogeneous group, as a language or cultural institution; the diaspora of English as a global language’.
This lecture considers how and why the language of ceramics in Britain has spread its influence. The focus will be on contemporary practice.'

Perspectives: Art, Liver Diseases and Me is a project run by the School of Fine Art of the Polytechnic University of Valencia, and AbbVie International, a pharmaceutical company. The aim of the project is to create works of art together with patients that suffer from Hepatitis C, to make the disease more visible and to get rid of the social stigma it may carry.

My name is Susana Carne, I am a contemporary artist and I am very happy to have been invited to take part in this project, making a piece of art in collaboration with an Hepatitis C patient called Kelvin. We have mutually agreed to use this blog as a diary of the journey we have just started together, we will be talking about the disease, the art work we are developing together or any other ideas or thoughts the project may inspire us. I hope you share and enjoy our little adventure.

Susana Carne

Originally from Spain, Susana lives and works in London since 2010, seduced by the versatile sensuality of clay and the reflections of glass, she's currently studying a MA in Ceramics and Glass at Royal College of Art (RCA). Interested in the human condition, emotions, psychology and the materiality of art, the key to her work could be found in the tension generated between a psychological or emotional condition, which is usually the starting point of her own art practice, and the processes, the material she chooses to work with involves.
