Check out VCFA!"At VCFA, I became particularly interested in the role that design plays in the larger system of interdependencies that comprises contemporary culture: why we do the things we do, why we think the way we think, and how we came to be the way we are. I think that it is necessary to look at history in order to speculate about our present and future." - VCFA alumnus Laura Rossi Garcia
