Thanks to @RISD for making the history of campus activism more visible to all.

In 2020, risdARC members demanded RISD’s history of activism be accessible online through the presentation of a collection of archival materials. Explore RISD’s history of activism in a newly launched page: https://t.co/QUO7Q94ETw

In 1925, illustrator and artist Ethel King was photographed, palette in hand, face to face with a Queensland Groper. She was one of the first female artists to work here at the Museum, and she went on to help shape a new visual identity for us. #womenMW #MuseumWeek.
