In this episode of Matter of Art, we sit down with Daria Murphy, a scholar and curator whose work bridges craft history, East Asian art, and global material culture. From her academic journey—spanning the University of Toronto, Bard Graduate Center, and Queen’s University—to her curatorial experiences, we explore how her research on textiles, ceramics, and cross-cultural exchanges informs her work. Daria shares insights into her involvement in recent exhibitions, including Liu Shiming: Spirit of Daily Life at the Tett and the forthcoming The Indian Ocean: Monsoon Worlds at the ROM. We also discuss her PhD research, her time in Japan, and the dynamic process of bringing historical craft traditions into the present.
