About us

We are Les Monarcas de Barro (The Butterflies of Mud; LMdB). a project based on the belief that art and ceramics can convene, create space to reflect, develop conscientiousness, organize communities and result in social transformation.

 

This project is a collective effort by Vanesa Cabezas, Colombian Potter, and Kevin Escobar Popular Education Facilitator. We are artists and advocates with strong roots in the immigrant community.

Our objective is sharing the generational knowledge of pottery and mastery of traditional techniques in South America; transmitting, honoring, and recognizing these communities continued resistance.
