Student Narrative

Using film scans from the RISD Archives collection, this book examines the overlapping and often contradictory existence of an art school basketball team. Juxtaposing black and white film from RISD basketball games with modern-day photos of spaces around campus, this book serves as a tool to piece together fragments of our history that are not always well recorded or preserved. The book also includes quotes from the men who played on those RISD basketball teams of the early sixties, known as the "Red Devils".
