TERMINAL Graduates Interview

Suthata Suthmahatayangkun

Checking my Thai bank account at midday I found almost 500 pounds had been taken out on my card in the past few days. Gone were the months of planning and pitching ideas for special celebrative content for RCA’s Convocation day. I was standing there in front of Barclays on Kings Road arguing and pleading with my...

Shannan's Diary

Shannan Hu

28 Sep 2021 21:00 Lunchtime – I asked Li why she hadn’t brushed the pan after using it and why she always makes me uncomfortable with these daily subtle things. She replied that she didn’t use the pan! Was it me that didn’t brush it? I was shocked, and then remembered that I cooked sticky rice in the morni...

The Hours | 23 pieces of passing time

Lucy Hu

I believe in the power of being small instead of being big. I believe in the power of being quiet instead of making noise. I believe in the power of healing instead of justifying. I believe in the power of the unremarkable and unspeakable, the soft, gentle and ephemeral. From Feb 24th, 2022, I started to knit ...

How do you live in London?

Joo Yeoun Yoo

What is it like living as a Korean woman studying art/design abroad? At the age of 30, some people get a job, get married, and have a child, but I started studying abroad. It doesn’t mean that I didn’t worry about these things. Can I leave Korea, where I have all my foundations? Isn’t it a...

Why do we need a chair in the virtual world?

Haewon Jeon

Here is a chair which I brought from 3D Warehouse1. The 3D Warehouse is a fantastic free storage in which everything has been virtualised, but realised simultaneously. It displays simulacrum not mimesis, or the content which professes a three-dimensional basis. Hence, the things within the warehouse are placed in a state of non-gravitation. Wandering objects demolish ...

It's all too late.

Shannan Hu

6:00 am I open my eyes and instantly bounce out of bed. I grab my phone, walk into the bathroom, turn on the Science Podcast, take a shower, brush my teeth, and finish within 20 minutes. 6:20 am I have 40 minutes to read. I plan to read two books a week, 100 books a year, with 40% economics, 30% psychology, 15% history and 15% ...
