Last month we were so excited to share that our piece ‘Con nuestras manos construimos deidades / With our hands we build deities’ was being shown again it it’s entirety at the Frederick R. Weissman Museum at Pepperdine University. When the show opened, we were so grateful to be in such a thoughtful exhibition curated by @gyorodyody about labor, care, motherhood, disability rights, and most importantly, the right to speak up and portray ourselves how we want to be seen. Unfortunately, last week we received a call about the censorship of our work and @elanamannstudio . Because there was a lack of transparency from the administration who decided to censor our work for ‘overt political speech,’ we decided to remove our work, because it is not just silencing a group of artists but a whole community of asylum seekers, immigrants, migrants, border dwellers and people experiencing persecution and violence. This work is about connection despite borders, about advocating for freedom of movement and for a future where families are not separated. In these times of increased political violence, where masked men kidnap our neighbors and terrorize our communities we believe that a simple statement among hundreds saying “ABOLISH ICE” is not only warranted but necessary.

When we show our work, we speak for ourselves and our community, and never believe that the institution showing the work is endorsing our beliefs. Pepperdine’s delayed efforts to resolve the problem were disappointing as they came after several of our colleagues decided to remove their work in solidarity with us. Their actions showed disregard for the role art can play in an academic setting.

Thank you to our fellow artists for your support and community, especially @elanamannstudio ❤️ Thanks to @officialstromberg and @henrygadams for the coverage of this issue. Please read their pieces to understand everything that happened.

#repost • @sanluis.contemporaneo Les invitamos este sábado a una charla y conversación abierta junto a Tanya Aguiñiga y Natalie Godinez sobre Quipu Fronterizo / Border Quipu, un proyecto participativo desarrollado con AMBOS Project que explora las experiencias cotidianas de quienes cruzan la frontera entre México y Estados Unidos.

Durante la charla compartirán el proceso detrás del proyecto y la nueva iteración que actualmente se desarrolla en distintas comunidades fronterizas, incluyendo Ciudad Juárez y El Paso. También habrá espacio para diálogo, intercambio y conversación sobre comunidad, territorio y experiencias fronterizas.

Además, estarán buscando voluntaries para apoyar activaciones del proyecto el domingo 10 y lunes 11 de mayo en Ciudad Juárez.

Join us this Saturday for a conversation and open dialogue with Tanya Aguiñiga and Natalie Godinez around Quipu Fronterizo / Border Quipu, a participatory project developed with AMBOS Project that explores the everyday experiences of people crossing the U.S.–Mexico border.

During the talk, they will share the process behind the project and its new iteration currently being developed in different border communities, including Ciudad Juárez and El Paso. The event will also open space for dialogue, exchange, and conversation around community, territory, and border experiences.

They are also looking for volunteers to support project activations taking place in Ciudad Juárez on Sunday, May 10 and Monday, May 11.

Some of the #AMBOSceramics pieces created by our students this year 🤎

From sculpting exercises to mold-making, our students draw inspiration from craft traditions around the world. Ceramics from Oaxaca and Guadalajara have guided us in creating animal figures with human traits, burnished birds, and delicate floral forms. Swedish Dala horses also inspired our own playful, personality-filled versions 🐎✨

Our students—coming from different regions of the world—find joy in sharing their cultural knowledge, recognizing both the differences and the beautiful connections across craft traditions 🌎

Queer Milagros: Petitions from the Border is part of Craft-itarianism: Community Action Through Craft, curated by Alyssa Velázquez at @centerforcraft in Asheville, NC 📍

This installation brings together handmade milagros created by LGBTQ+ migrant students in our trauma-informed ceramics workshops along the U.S./Mexico border. These objects draw from a traditional spiritual practice in which milagros are offered as wishes, prayers, or expressions of gratitude.

In this piece, the milagros take on contemporary and personal forms—such as a flying dollar bill, an airplane, eyes, or high heels—reflecting both individual experiences and shared concerns like migration, protection, survival, and identity. The installation is set against a large image of La Casita de Unión Trans (@lacasitadeut) in #Tijuana, grounding the work in a specific site of refuge and community.

Together, the piece bridges tradition and lived experience, using these symbolic objects to express hope, resilience, and collective humanity.

✨ Craft-itarianism highlights how making can foster connection and create meaningful support for vulnerable communities. On view February–September 2026.

On this exhibition we share space with meaningful creators like: Black Craftspeople Digital Archive, Center for Creative Works, Firebird Community Arts, People’s Pottery Project, and Maggie Thompson.
