The contents of the symposium aim to open an international debate on progressive concepts and strategies in contemporary ceramic arts. The symposium will attempt to present not only a

towards a new identity of contemporary ceramics. With the participation of 23 internationally

analysis and open discussions concerning the field of contemporary ceramics. We are glad to
invite you to this valuable opportunity.
