Copies of the exhibition catalog, Liz Collins: Motherlode, (2025, RISD Museum and Hirmer Publishers, $45) will be available for sale at the event, and can be signed by the contributors in attendance.

This groundbreaking volume complements the RISD Museum exhibition, the first major survey of the artist’s work in an American museum and positions Liz Collins (RISD BFA 1991 | MFA 1999, Textiles) as a singular figure who not only synthesizes fine art, craft, and fashion and textile design, but also fiercely advocates for queer and feminist politics.
Edited by Kate Irvin with contributions by Glenn Adamson, Julia Bryan-Wilson, Octavia Bürgel, Kate Irvin, Zoe Latta, and Eileen Myles.
