Visual Activism: RIT Student Sale
The Op Shop
89 Charlotte St.
Nov 7, 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Featuring the work of RIT’S Visual Activism class, this exhibition arrives in a season of transformation—when voices rise to be heard, ballots are cast, and nature reminds us of the power in renewal.

Through weaving, stitching, and felting, students’ acts of hand stitching translate the cycles of the natural world into acts of creative resistance. Each fiber piece embodies how words, like threads, can bind, mend, and spark change.

Visual Activism reflects a generation shaping our collective future—one that understands both the fragility of our environment and its boundless potential to heal.

Hand stitched patches and fabric covered buttons will be for sale and all proceeds (60% of sales) will be donated to Foodlink.
The Visual Activism class is led by Professor Hinda Mandell, Ph. D. Hinda is passionate about prioritizing a DIY, materials-based approach, including as a thought tool in the University classroom.
