Cosmic Artifacts, Donté K. Hayes

Greenwich House Pottery
New York, New York
November 6 –December 19, 2025

Hayes’s work exists, he says, at the intersection of the legacy of the African diaspora and contemporary popular culture. His imposing clay forms, painstakingly decorated with repeating motifs, are inspired by a galaxy of influences: Afrofuturism, superheroes, African art objects, textiles, fashion in the era of colonialism, soundwaves, hair, and science fiction.
