Architecture Statement:
10 April 2023
We express our unequivocal support for the custodians, groundskeepers, and movers currently on strike for a fair, decent wage at RISD. As educators and practitioners, we are acutely aware that the maintenance of our physical spaces is vital to the everyday functioning of our institution and is also the physical manifestation of our collective value systems. We firmly believe that RISD must fairly compensate and support the people whose tireless labor makes our work fundamentally possible. Their labor must be valued, recognized, and celebrated.
When employers use standards of minimum rather than standards of care, today's living wage is tomorrow's living precarity. According to our shared 2030 mission statement, it is beholden on RISD not to simply teach social equity and inclusion, but to practice it.
