About the program
Artist Nora Naranjo Morse is an artist and member of the Pueblo Pottery Collective, who lives and works in northern New Mexico. Naranjo Morse’s work is inspired by Pueblo culture, land, and community, and her ephemeral sculptures entitled Always Becoming are the first sculptures on the Smithsonian Mall created by an Indigenous woman.
Clay work has a long and rich history in Pueblo culture. Its history is infused with stories of Pueblo people and their relationship to the clay that’s been gathered for centuries from the arid landscape of the Southwest. Clay stories are passed down through family and community members and are meant to inspire and remind Pueblo people of their connection to the earth.
