Like artists, creators, designers and curators across the globe our students have adapted, innovated and reimagined in recent months. An RCA degree questions established narratives – this has never been more relevant – and has been a prominent feature of our studio (whether at-home or on-campus) and online delivery.

For the first time, the Royal College of Art's annual presentation of Work in Progress will this year take place online as a digital platform, accompanied by a programme of digital events.

Wherever you are in the world, join us online to explore and immerse yourself in the thinking and work in progress of the world's most talented emerging artists and designers.

Look out for: 

WiP 2020 by Amir Saidani (MA Visual Communication) and Camille Le Flem (MA Visual Communication)

The student-designed identity for WiP 2020 by Amir Saidani (MA Visual Communication) and Camille Le Flem (MA Visual Communication), based around ribbons revealing student voices and languages to reflect the diversity and internationalism of the RCA.

RCA Fashion is running a series of events on their social media to bring everyone together at this time of crisis including a #digital_masquerade ball for the Red Death, inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s short story.
