About Us

Under Yalala, ceramic practice is approached as a form of material inquiry grounded in Indigenous knowledge systems and contemporary questions of land use.

Each clay body is treated as a located material, a site-specific composition shaped by mineral history, labor, and ecological shifts, foregrounding the fact that material agency is never neutral. We position these objects as propositions that articulate how land, community, and technique persist within contemporary art discourse.

Yalala’s mission is to bring these conversations into institutional and private collections, situating the work within broader debates on sustainability, Indigenous sovereignty, and the future of material culture.
