Abstract In Spring 2018, Kelly Walters was a Visiting Lecturer in the Graphic Communication Design Course at Central Saint Martins (CSM) in London, England. She worked in collaboration with CSM students and staff to organize an exhibition entitled Open Dialogue: Artists + Designers of Afro-Caribbean Descent. Initially beginning as a series of conversations about race and identity, the project expanded into a week-long exhibition with supplemental artist talks in CSM’s Graphic Communication Design studio space. In this essay, Kelly shares her insights on the creative process and topics of race, privilege and agency within a collegiate studio art context.
