Ceramic Futures is a hands-on research project by Georgia Xypolia and Giorgos Xanthopoulos, operating between Amsterdam, NL and Athens, GR. Clay has long been humanity’s didactic medium; not only containing, but preserving histories, documenting daily rituals and collective struggles across cultures and time. Expanding on this role, Ceramic Futures explores clay as a designer’s tool for critical inquiry, by bridging ancient Greek ceramic traditions with speculative approaches to imagining spatial futures. We aim to develop a series of processes that merge intuitive clay making with visual modes of research, design and visioning, touching on topics of ecology, politics and spatial justice.
