>  Sana Musasama, a ceramic artist from New York City, will be giving a  
> talk about her work. She has traveled and worked in many countries  
> around the world.
>  The following quote from ART news summer 2005 describes her work.   
> This promises to be a stimulating and provocative talk.
>   
>  “Sculptor Sana Musasama movingly explores taboo terrain.  She deals  
> with the boundaries, bondage, and safety of women.  Her ceramics refer  
> to outer beauty and inner anguish, whether they are addressing  
> circumcision in Africa, foot binding in Asia, honor killing in  
> Afghanistan, dowry burning in India, neck and leg rings in Thailand,  
> battered and murdered women in the United States, or child  
> prostitution and rape throughout the world.  Besides teaching art at  
> Hunter College in New York City, Musasama works with incarcerated  
> youth, which is how she learned of gang rituals that disfigure and  
> entrap female members.”
