Description

Costume & Textiles Department curators Kate Irvin and Laurie Brewer join Industrial Design Senior critic Matthew Bird ID'81 to discuss the Museum's current Andrew W. Mellon Faculty Fellowship. The two-year appointments are designed to engage faculty members from across disciplines in research, teaching, and public engagement within a curatorial department of the Museum’s collection. In 2020, the RISD Museum was awarded a CARES grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to access, photograph and restore 900 costumes and objects in the Lucy Truman Aldrich Collection of Asian Art Masterworks. Bird speaks about his research methods during pandemic times and the items he has rediscovered through the lens of the Fellowship. This series highlights the intersections of art, design, theory, social justice and research in interviews and conversations within the RISD community, its faculty and students.
