"Sonder: The Black Biennial" is a multidisciplinary exhibition showcasing the talents of Black artists from both RISD and the surrounding community. Curated by juniors Amadi Williams (Painting, '25) and Isaiah "Prophet" Raines (Sculpture, '25), the exhibition opened at RISD's Gelman Gallery on April 18th and it runs through June 2. It builds on the themes of access and unity first introduced in the 2022 inaugural Black Biennial. Displayed at the gallery’s entrance, the exhibition's definition reads: “Sonder: The realization that each individual is living a life as vivid and complex as your own, in which you might appear only once, as a part of someone else’s story.”
