Graduation is anything but traditional for the Class Of 2020 but for the students of the Parsons School of Design, tradition just got an upgrade by none other than Solange Knowles.
In a newly developed partnership, Knowles’ Saint Heron and the Parsons School of Design have teamed up to launch Here and Now, “an immersive virtual festival designed to celebrate the thesis and capstone work from the Class of 2020.”
While the New York City based festival usually consists of in-person exhibits and activations during its three-week celebration, shifting to a fully-digital event will allow Parsons to continue the school’s eight year tradition while highlighting students’ talent, creativity and their ability to “adapt to the challenges of the moment.”
Not to mention, the partnership with Saint Heron has already opened the door for over 300 graduating students to team up with well-renowned artist, Jacolby Satterwhite (who is also responsible for Solange’s 3D “Sound of Rain” video), and Saint Heron’s creative team to create the 3D installation, Metonymy, a project that will be on full display during the virtual festival.
