To the RISD illustration administration and fine arts department,
We are a group of RISD illustration students holding the department accountable for RISD’s written commitment to “affect real, systemic change within our institution" in relation to the department’s complicity in perpetuating anti-blackness and systems of harm against BIPOC students and educators. Speaking on behalf of current and past students of illustration, we ask that you actively listen to our grievances, implement our list of demands and work out structural changes within the department with the help of student input.
We ask that you respond with a new plan by Friday 7/10, before the leave of absence deadline. We patiently await your answers addressing how we can build a better education environment together.
