There Are Many Ways of Telling / 18 Perspectives on Voice
“Voice” is distinct.
It comes through in every word. It’s the quality in all writing that tells us who the author is, and what their values are. Always making preeminent the concepts of creative identity and agency, voice is meant to occupy space — to be read, heard, and understood.
Selected from across our 18 graduate programs, the authors of these works — RISD alumnx from the past five years — were chosen by their departments to showcase graduate thesis writing and research. Proliferating various qualities of voice, their texts speak in celebration, in reflection, in certainty, in contestation. While their points of view differ, their efforts in skillfully bringing forward text to narrativize their visual work are consistently high. Within each gesture of articulation, we encounter eloquence and generosity, vision, and criticality.
