Vol.11

Fall 2025

We invite you to revisit these events and take a deep dive into the ideas discussed. RRR Vol.11 was organized by the Exhibitions department, and in Fall 2025 edited by Isaiah Diaz-Mays and Jasmine Narkita Wiley, with original graphics by Pnita (Mintie) Jantarkolica.

This image depicts a crowded indoor event or presentation, likely a conference or panel discussion. The room has a modern, open-concept design with exposed wooden beams and track lighting overhead. A large projection screen is visible at the front of the room, suggesting a presentation or speaker is taking place. The audience is composed of a diverse group of people, including both men and women of varying ages and backgrounds.

The Art of Giving Feedback

This editorial image depicts a group of people engaged in an outdoor activity or performance on a concrete plaza. The setting features a modern, minimalist architectural style with large, textured concrete walls and a bright blue sky in the background. The people in the image appear to be young adults, dressed casually in t-shirts, jeans, and sneakers. They are positioned in various poses, some standing, some crouching, and some interacting with each other.

The Power of Insistence

This image depicts the interior of an art gallery or museum exhibition space. The central focus is a large, curved purple wall that dominates the frame, with the text "ROUTED WEST: Twentieth-Century African American Quilts in California" prominently displayed. The wall appears to be part of a larger exhibition or installation, with additional artworks visible in the background, including what looks like a quilt or textile piece mounted on the far wall.

Routed West: Quilts as Cultural Testimony

This image depicts an indoor event or presentation taking place at California College of the Arts, a modern, minimalist space with exposed wooden beams and curtains. A speaker, dressed casually in a light-colored shirt, is standing at a podium and addressing a seated audience. The audience members appear to be a diverse group, including both men and women, some wearing casual clothing and others in more formal attire.
