From clay to community: Theaster Gates on the challenge of blight in Grand Crossings, Chicago at TED2015

This is a really intriguing article talking about a persons expansion from their practise as a potter to someone who shapes cities. Starting with super basic materials, at the lowest level of form or materiality and transforming it into something bigger, meaningful and beautiful. It is inspiring the reader to get up and get into changing their community for the better, to go and shape the material that is their local, their community, their urban environment. From clay to cities.
