Take a peek at this video for insight into the making of “1,000 Ways to Hold” from its inception to completion. 1,000 Ways to Hold is the culmination of a year-long participatory project by Stanford Arts’ 2025–26 Visiting Artist Erika Chong Shuch () . Developed in response to a moment shaped by loneliness, uncertainty, the project proposes a tender, human-scale intervention: people sit together, shape ceramic bowls, and reflect on the question “What have you held, and what has held you?”

Fun Fact: Before becoming an artist, Bryan Hunt worked as an engineer's aide and draftsman at NASA's Kennedy Space Center during the Apollo program (1967–68). His later sculptures would often explore ideas related to flight, space, engineering, and the forces that shape movement and form.

Happy Birthday, Bryan Hunt!

We were truly astounded!

The Burt and Deedee McMurtry Lecture, featuring curator Hamza Walker, held space for a moving discussion on how thoughtful curation shapes how we see the world.

Thank you to Hamza for sharing your insights, and to our own Trisha Lagaso Goldberg for guiding the evening's conversation.
