Reception: Thursday, September 10, 2026, 5-7 p.m.
By Design intentionally brings together an array of international and historical protest-related work, on loan from nine private and public collections. The purpose is manifold, but it highlights a few key points: there is a rich history behind protest and political critique, there is no one 鈥渞ight鈥� way to protest, the creative arts can bring many different voices to the forefront, and the most effective pieces avoid trite platitudes. These objects are imperfect like the people who made them but stand the test of time because they mark historic moments shared by numerous individuals who spoke as one.
Many thanks to Emma Haring (CGP '26) for her curatorial assistance as a summer post-graduate fellow.
