It feels more important than ever, even urgent, to let innovation inform and lead global, joined-up decision-making, so what an uplifting joy to explore the intense creativity and curiosity of the RCA class of 2020 Graduates.

This platform with all of its thoughtful and intelligent ideas, content and digital links, gives us an intimate way to explore the works, experiences and personalities of so many remarkable creatives. A chance in a life-time to look over the shoulders of the RCA’s designers, artists, creators, entrepreneurs and design thinkers.

And never was there a more poignant and significant time to be authentic, true-to-self, and to find ways to express our own personal journeys, experiences and identities. The extraordinary work speaks for itself. The statements are often as powerful and thought provoking as the works themselves, covering so many aspects of our lives. They often force us to look anew at the world we all inhabit and engage with – or don’t engage with enough…or never even considered.

The sheer motivation and determination needed to creatively think through these last months is both exceptional and inspiring.

The GenerationRCA graduates – what a privilege to meet you all!
