Diabou Hubbard, a third-year student in Alfred University’s School of Art and Design, New York State College of Ceramics, has been awarded the spring 2024 Jerome Ackerman Internship at the Alfred Ceramic Art Museum.
As an art student, Hubbard’s focus has been on painting and fiber-related artwork, and he brought an interest in African traditionalism and modernity to his work, acknowledging a deep interest in the cultural diversity of the African continent and specifically his Senegalese cultural heritage.
Hubbard’s curiosity about the Museum began in a history of Asian Ceramic Art class taught by Megan Jones, Alfred University Associate Professor
