Aglaé Jarry Wilson

is a ceramic artist and essayist whose practice integrates material experimentation with critical research. After an initial formation in the culinary arts at Ferrandi school in Paris (2018-2020), she pursued a degree in ceramics Duperré school in Paris (2021-2023), where the medium’s responsiveness to process and transformation became central to their artistic development. This trajectory was further deepened through a master’s degree in Critical Inquiry Lab at the Design Academy of Eindhoven (2024-2025), in writing and research. A program that cemented her commitment to theory as an essential counterpart to making.

In 2025, Aglaé Jarry Wilson completed a residency at the European Ceramic Work Centre (EKWC), where they developed their diploma project—subsequently exhibited at the EKWC and soon to be presented at Dutch Design Week. (october 2025)

At the core of her practice lies glaze research, approached simultaneously as a technical pursuit and as a conceptual framework. Through this lens, Aglaé interrogates the complexities of mixed-race and Black identities, situating them within contemporary sociological and historical discourse and critically examining the persistent influence of American imperialism on global narratives of race. Their work resists fixed boundaries— both material and ideological— favoring instead processes that foreground ambiguity, porosity, and the potential of ceramics as a medium for questioning inherited structures of identity and power.

By weaving together theoretical reflection and material research, Aglaé Jarry Wilson positions her practice as both a site of resistance and a platform for dialogue. Aspiring not to resolve debates, but to expand and complicate them.
