In 2020 the Baltimore Museum of Art appointed their first native curator, Darienne Turner, Assistant Curator of Indigenous Art of the Americas. Her hire signaled a commitment by the museum to promote and interpret the art of indigenous peoples of the Americas. A member of the Yurok Tribe of California, Darienne is one of the few native curators of native art in U.S. museums. In our conversation, she discusses her role and the challenges in presenting and collecting native art in an institutional context and her responsibility to tell the stories of native peoples thoughtfully and reverently. When we spoke with Darienne in December 2020, the museum was partially closed. The only spaces open to the public were the gift shop and a portion of the first floor where her first exhibition at the museum, Stripes, and Stars: Reclaiming Lakota Independence (October 11, 2020 — March 28, 2021), was installed. The exhibition presented a small selection of objects from the museum's collection produced by the Lakota peoples of South Dakota. Confined to reservations by the late 19th century, the makers of these objects incorporated the American flag in their detailed beadwork. On caps and vests worn by children, boots, pouches, and a monumental hood for a horse, these emblems of the flag served as a talisman and a way for the Lakota youth to participate in cultural activities which had previously been outlawed. Her exhibition was the first in what we hope will be many that celebrate the achievement of native makers of the Americas. The Baltimore Museum of Art is one of the leading U.S. encyclopedic museums committed to collecting and promoting inclusivity. Being a majority-minority city, Baltimore and the museum is a model for the future of U.S. culture and institutions.Learn more about the museum and her exhibition here:Exhibition page: https://artbma.org/exhibition/stripes-and-stars-reclaiming-lakota-independenceExhibition Installation Videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrgHLLqglkoTalk with Darienne Turner and Sheldon Raymore, member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Nation and multidisciplinary artist and performer, on the occasion of the exhibition Stripes and Stars: Reclaiming Lakota Independence at the BMA.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIycn3OzPMUPress: 'We Were White and Sleepy Before'—The Baltimore Museum of Art's Radical Makeover – Wall Street Journal, 11/22/19.About Darienne:Darienne is the Assistant Curator of Indigenous Art of the Americas at the Baltimore Museum of Art, is a member of the Yurok Tribe of California, and has taught in MICA's Graphic Design Department since 2017.

What does decolonizing design mean to you? How can designers learn from and value the knowledge that comes out of localized contexts? In this podcast episode Christian Zöllner and Ramon Tejada - Professor for Graphic Design at RISD - engage in a conversation about the urgent need to question the euro-centric design canon, making space for other voices, and the potentials of slowing down design education altogether. #decolonizedesign #learnability #designeducation Ramon is a (New Yorkino / Afro-Caribbean / American) designer (as Estudio Ramon) and educator based in Providence, Rhode Island. He works in a hybrid design/teaching practice focusing on collaboration, inclusion, unearthing and the responsible expansion of design, a practice he has named “puncturing.” After teaching experiences at Pratt Institute, Parsons/The New School, CUNY–Queens College and at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) Ramon is currently an Assistant Professor in the Graphic Design Department at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). As the initiator of the Decolonizing Design Reader, Ramon runs an open collaborative research collection revolving around the politics of design.
Indra Sproģe attended the Riga (Latvia) 2nd Secondary School and the Glass Art Department of Riga Secondary School of Applied Art. She is a graduate of the Graphic Design Department of the Latvian Academy of Art and the master class of A. Dembo. She has been a curator for nine exhibitions by the pupils of A. Dembo. She has trained in cultural management at the Latvian Academy of Culture and obtained a Master’s Degree in Art. I. Sproģe is a free artist: she writes poetry and prose, draws, paints, photographs and creates unusual objects. In the field of book art, she creates concepts, content, and design for original and attractive projects that always have a didactic purpose. In 2004 she created the calendar “Time Winds Around You” (Laiks vijas ap tevi) based on the concept of an interactive wish or greeting – like spreading email messages. In 2005 she created the visual communication set “0 + 0 = infinity (0 + 0 = bezgalība; book and set of cards). Since 1995 she has held solo exhibitions almost every year, and her works are held in various collections. She received the 2007 Annual Prize for Book Publishing for the book “Million” (Miljons. Digitally transformed by A. Plotka, colour: L. Cēsniece. R.: Zaržecka privātprakse, 2007). Through the paintings in this work, children can learn to read in the form of a game. It is a book in terms of form, and a game in terms of content. Animals, plants, everyday objects, and simple, familiar activities are arranged in various combinations – 300 words and 300 pictures. I. Sproģe offers you the chance to create a million sentences and a million strange characters. In 2010, she developed a new original project called: “The Alphabet for Play” (Joka pēc alfabēts. R.: Zvaigzne ABC, 2010). A poster is placed in the book with illustrations and all the letters of the alphabet, as well as a DVD disk with an animated film made by the Rija studio. Watching and singing along with Renārs Kaupers, children can learn and remember the alphabet more easily. What You Will Learn: The work Indra has been doing with her art, writing, and filmmaking Indra’s new animation project and what it aims to achieve How Indra won an award for her children’s animation in a United States film festival Indra’s life experience under the USSR, and how it shaped her appreciation for freedom What life was like in Latvia after the Soviets left The general sense of national identity for women in Latvia Resources: Website: http://sproge.lv/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/indra-spro%C4%A3e-aa626422/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/indra_sproge/

While there are many reasons that learning math is important, we explore the answer to this question when determining how much math you will use in your respective field. In this interview Darlene Mazak speaks with Adjunct Faculty member, Sandra Lesh, from the Graphic Design Department. Sandra has had positions in both the creative and production areas of the graphic design field. This includes her work as a production artist/prepress operator with Top Graphics in St. Louis, MO, as well as a senior graphic designer for Adams on Advertising, also in St. Louis. In addition, she has done freelance design work. Together we explore the specific tasks that require math and what level of math are needed in some of the job opportunities that a graphic design student may encounter as they venture out into the work environment.

Born in England, Richard Hollis has been a freelance graphic designer since 1958. He has worked as a printer, art editor, production manager, writer, teacher and lecturer. Hollis taught at various London art schools, as well as co-founded, with Norman Potter, the Graphic Design Department at the West of England College of Art in Bristol in 1964. His book design includes John Berger’s ‘Ways of Seeing’, and a large body of work for the Whitechapel Art Gallery. He has also made a significant contribution to the history of graphic design in through his books including ‘Graphic Design: A Concise History’. In the interview with Richard Hollis we talk about his personal values. And how your own values are expressed through the way you work and the way you behave towards the people you’re working with or working for. Richard explains how he hardly ever changes typefaces. He always uses the same typefaces in making catalogues and books. We wonder, apart from the kind of job or the topics that he’s designing for, if his political views can be seen in his design work. We also talk about his fascination for Swiss Graphic Design and he explains why he has written a book about the topic: ‘Swiss Graphic Design: The Origins and Growth of an International Style’. We end the interview with how a painting of two tortoises, that Richard has seen at the Mauritshuis, is related to writing. Recorded at the Karel Martens Symposium at KABK, The Hague, the Netherlands.
