Video Screening: RISD Research Perspectives

Saturday 10/8, 10am–4pm
RISD Museum, Common Room
RISD Research Perspectives is a series of videos that highlight the intersections of art, design, theory, social justice and research in interviewed conversations within the RISD community. The series was conceived and created in Fall 2020 by documentary filmmaker, design researcher and THAD faculty member Holly Gaboriault MA 21 GAC while working as a graduate student with Soul Brown, Director, Research. RISD’s Research Department sustains and encourages the culture of inquiry at the Rhode Island School of Design by offering the system, tools and expertise for implementing arts based research. The office facilitates planning, grant seeking, professional development, discourse, community engagement and other opportunities that enable faculty and students to undertake innovative, multidisciplinary research initiatives that contribute new insights and advance practices through the exploration of materials, techniques, contexts and scholarship.
