Four Royal College of Art graduates and our Honorary Doctor
@samuelross MBE are part of a major exhibition of contemporary Black design this autumn
@designmuseum.
The Nue Black Aesthetic curated by
@charleneprempeh opens on 6 November and charts the work of some of the most innovative contemporary Black designers working right now including
@andumasebo (MA Design Products, 2021),
@saul.nash (MA Fashion, 2018),
@simonebrewster_london (MA Design Products, 2007) and
@biancasaunders (MA Fashion, 2017). As well as additional work contextualising 20th century design history by our legendary 1957 Textiles alumna, Althea McNish.
At the core of the exhibition will be the question: “What does it mean to be a Black designer working today?”
Across the 16 designers featured, the show will demonstrate that there is no single way to be a Black designer. And invite visitors to rethink assumptions about what Black design looks like and who gets to shape design culture.
