& Olivia Stephens, Utē Petit, Chantal Feitosa, and the student organizers at B.A.A.D.
My senior year at RISD, I collaborated with the student group Black Artists and Designers (B.A.A.D.) to document the difficulties faced by students of color at predominantly white art schools. We released “The Room of Silence” to the community on social media. It spread across campus in a matter of minutes, raising support for a rally scheduled two days later (”Not Your Token”), and attracting the attention of local newspapers. It began a dialogue about race where previously there had only been frustrating silence. However, reports from students and faculty currently at RISD indicate that the school has taken no concrete steps to act on student demands.
