February 3-April 28, 2024
Everson Museum of Art

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, and her mission is to be a global citizen who experiences the world heart first.
