📚That Time There was a Transracial (Trace) College Course📙

Okay so I've been going down a bit of a rabbit hole today and felt compelled to share my findings. I clearly remembered that, off the back of Nkechi Diallo's forcible outing as trace in 2015, a couple years later there was a smaller scandal related to a college course that delved deeper into this idea on an academic level. I remember thinking, even though at the time I was against being trace, that it would have at least been interesting to attend. There are only a few reactionary articles from mid-2017 reporting on it, as the course has been scrubbed clean from the website of the Rhode Island School of Design. But thanks to the power of the Waybackmachine, I was able to take a look at it!

The faculty who taught the course is named Joon Lee, a Korean-American queer transsexual! Unfortunately I still haven't been able to pinpoint if he considers himself trace in some way, although he appears to have in-depth studies on black feminism, so it's possible that's related in some way? Just pure speculation. Thankfully he still works there even though this particular course is no longer offered. Here's his website!

But what's interesting is that this wasn't a new course in 2017; I found the same class (although called something else) in a course list from 2009-2010 and even one as far back as 2005-2006!!!

I don't really have a conclusion to this little deep dive except I'm sad I wasn't born early enough to attend this class. 🫠 These are some really interesting concepts I'd love to see actually discussed metacontextually and it's upsetting this was being talked about as early as at least the mid 00s but then got roped into the tracephobic hype.

My best friends are dating so I'm like the third wheel constantly, but they had the funniest interaction yesterday.

Bsf 1: Bsf2 is going to go off to art school and find someone so much better than me

Me: Bsf 2 isn't going to leave you

Bsf 2: Bsf 2 is going to go off to art school and be broke

Here’s a piece I did for my first RISD Continuing Education class I took back in January and February! I was given the prompt of “Sperm Whale” and chose to illustrate one as if he was in a children’s book. Let me tell you, drawing a whale sitting is HARD!

A  few years ago, while I was studying #printmaking at Rhode Island School of Design, I fell in love with #Vandercook #printingpresses. They’re these big, old-fashioned #printers that #stampdesigns onto paper using rollers that are operated by hand. I first used one my freshman year, and I finally bought my own last spring, which I now use to make the majority of my prints at my barn studio, in Brooks. It’s a little smaller than the press I learned on, but it’s perfect for my work, and although it was made in 1946, it runs like a dream. I make my prints by carving into linoleum with a micro palm chisel to create a #linocutrelief print, which then gets inked and printed onto paper with the Vandercook. I put ink rollers on the Vandercook, clip my paper in, and roll it across the linocut to make my paper prints.

Red Road Trip 1 and Red Road Trip 2, 2021-22, Flashe, acrylic marker, pencil, and embroidery on cotton by Karla Knight

Drawing inspiration from Native American Lakota winter counts, specifically for their pictographic organization and spiral patterns Knight has begun to assimilate a language of indecipherable letters and hieroglyphic signs into her increasingly graphic compositions, echoing the automatic writings of mediumistic artists and the Surrealists. The compositions veer towards the metaphysical, mirroring her early interest in the geometric visions of Hilma af Klint.

Karla Knight is a visual artist born in New York City and currently living and working in Connecticut. She received her BFA in painting from Rhode Island School of Design in 1980. Her work is currently on display at the Edlin Gallery until the first of July, 2022.
