Sana Musasama

Sana Musasama earned her BA in 1973 from the City College of New York and her MFA from Alfred University in 1988.

Sana began traveling to explore and recover her identity and cultural place. Her love of clay served as the catalyst for her initial travels in West Africa, where she studied Mende pottery in Sierra Leone (1974-75). Later, Sana ventured to Japan, China, South America, and Cambodia, where she returns yearly to work with survivors of sex trafficking. Sana’s work is informed by history, women’s studies, culture, and her travel journal. Her mission is to be a global citizen who experiences the world heart first.

Everson Museum of Art

The Everson Museum of Art’s internationally recognized ceramics collection includes some of the finest representations of modern and contemporary American ceramics in the United States. With comprehensive collections and archival holdings central to the history of American ceramics, the Everson is focused on becoming the country’s leading center for ceramics research and exhibitions.
A generous grant from the Henry Luce Foundation supported the museum’s recently completed effort to photograph and digitize a significant portion of the collection and archive. The new publicly accessible and searchable database offers artists, collectors, curators, scholars, and students the previously unavailable opportunity to engage directly with this valuable chapter in American art history. This critical preservation project is part of the Everson’s larger effort to reinstall the ceramics collection in a newly renovated space and to create a world-class Ceramics Research Center.
