“This Area is for Reflection, Prayer and Meditation,” an exhibit of found Filipino hand-lettered type, is on view in the first floor hallway cases of the RISD Design Center. See more of Corinne Ang’s work.
The Graduate Fall Position Presentation is a point of departure: an event—this fall, on Zoom—that demonstrated a theoretical position and visual progress in the first semester of the final year. See Kit Son Lee’s presentation on our Vimeo channel.

Call for submissions: “Post-Vote, Now What?: Participatory Prompts for Democracy” — a collective reflection on democracy, community, dialogue, and where we go from here. All RISD students, faculty, staff, and alumni are encouraged to participate here. Submissions will be printed and posted on the Color Lab window at 30 North Main Street.
The risd.gd faculty stand in solidarity with our Black and Indigenous faculty and students of color, with our POC faculty and students, and with the Black Lives Matter movement. We are unanimous in working together against racism and discrimination, toward a just and equitable future. Read our anti-racism statement
