100 SOXLA / SOMETHING YOU NEED
#1 ban

First limited edition 1-17 of Ban collective will be presented and available for sale in London this Saturday at @seedarchives

Taking ‘ban’ (meaning clay in Wolof) as a starting point—the first theme of the 100 theme schema that emerged through an experimental collaboration between @nu.melissandre.varin @banworkshop and @eprjcts —this collection explores the potential of transforming elements from our environment into functional ceramic art objects.

Clay collected from Toubab Dialaw, Galoya, the markets of Dakar - are transformed into contemporary reflection on culture heritage and know-how from the continent.

This first edition draws from Imann’s 2020 residency in the Fayoum Oasis in Egypt, translating that experience into a new landscape shaped by the diverse regions and soils of Senegal. taken in London, England by @banworkshop

The Ban Workshop was honoured to be invited to take part in a knowledge exchange with the women potters of Teug Daara. A day spent listening, learning, and being truly inspired by their traditions.
In the second step of the project, the potters will spend a day at Ban Workshop, where we will share the ways in which we have been reinterpreting traditional ceramic practices.
A huge thanks to the wonderful archaeologist, Dr Aicha Kamite from Cheikh Anta Diop University for facilitating this project.
+ A very special thanks to Karen Wells for organising this wonderful exchange!

This project is part of FABRIC and is supported by the University of London, AHRC (UK), DFG (Germany). taken in Senegal by @banworkshop

Join us for an evening of engaging conversations and a film screening at Ban Workshop for the Dakar premiere of The Enduring Legacy of Ladi Kwali (2024), directed by Dr Jareh Das.

Following the screening, Ban Workshop founders and Dr Jareh Das will discuss traditional pottery in Senegal and Nigeria, exploring its innovations, challenges, and enduring significance. They will also examine how a new generation of ceramicists, particularly in spaces like Ban Workshop, engages with historical legacies to ensure that pottery remains vibrant, relevant, and impactful for future generations.

Jareh Das
Dr Jareh Das is an independent curator and scholar based in the UK and West Africa. During her two-year early career fellowship funded by the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art between 2022-24, Jareh continued her ongoing research on seminal Nigerian potter and ceramicist Ladi Dosei Kwali (1925-1984), focusing on post-colonial perspectives in Nigerian pottery and British studio pottery. Jareh explores the connection between Nigerian pottery and traditions of British studio pottery from the 1950s to the 1970s, with a particular emphasis on uncovering the complex power dynamics between Africa and the West in ceramics. This research is an extension of Jareh’s ongoing scholarship and curatorial work on Ladi Kwali, which was part of Body Vessel Clay: Black Women, Ceramics and Contemporary Art shown at Two Temple Place, London and York Art Gallery in 2022.
