upcoming exhibition

RISD's newest generation of textile designers source the RISD Museum's vast Asian textile collection in this popular collaborative project and biennial exhibition. Traditional craftsmanship sparks contemporary creativity as objects such as a Japanese paper kimono, an embellished Kohistani infant headdress, and a Chinese palm-fiber raincoat inspire innovative new textiles and garments. Hand-drawn and computer-generated designs reveal the student designers' creativity, ingenuity, and working processes.
