In ancient Athens, the Kerameikos was the potter’s quarter, a hub of innovation where artisans produced some of the most sought-after ceramics of the Mediterranean region. 'Kerameikos' brings together seven leading Australian ceramic artists to create a contemporary potters' quarter at the Chau Chak Wing Museum.

Each artist has been invited to explore the museum’s historic and diverse collections during a week-long intensive residency, collaborating closely with the curatorial team. The resulting commissioned works will provide a fresh perspective on some of Australia's oldest collections.

'Kerameikos' artists:

  • Idil Abdullahi

  • Glenn Barkley

  • Kirsten Coelho

  • Janet Fieldhouse

  • Juz Kitson

  • Monica Rani Rudhar

  • Vipoo Srivilasa
