  • Pratt fashion alumna Mo Glover was featured by the BK Reader in a story on her children’s fashion line that highlights her time at Pratt and the support from Made in NYC, an initiative of the Pratt Center for Community Development.

  • The spring 2022 issue of Aperture features work by Marilyn Nance, BFA Communications Design ’76, from 1977 when she traveled to Nigeria and photographed the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture (FESTAC). The images will be featured in a forthcoming book called Last Day in Lagos.

  • “Hyperbolic Sericulture” by undergraduate architecture student Ellis Donahue takes inspiration from arachnid and lepidoptera silk spinning to create a landscape of traversable thresholds upon which visitors can climb, hang, and rest. See more @prattsoa.
