PICA has Constructed Socially and Politically Relevant Artwork Since 2010. Take A Look Back at their Most Influential Pieces.
For over ten years, Riverdale’s Projects in Contemporary Art Class, also known as PICA, has inspired and educated the Riverdale community on a plethora of topics surrounding current events and social change in the form of art. Led by Upper School art teacher Mr. Nicky Enright, the course has explored the many ways in which art can become an active component in our community that encourages students to reflect on some of the most pressing issues in our world. The respective subjects of the artwork have ranged over the years, including the impact of social media, climate change, and Covid-19, and have been displayed through several different media such as posters, sculptures, and interactive websites.
We invite you to explore this retrospective of some of PICA’s most influential pieces from 2010-2021!
Since the course was first constructed in 2010, the Riverdale PICA class has produced unique, influential, and creative pieces for display around campus.
