Ramón Tejada is a DominicanYork (of Dominican-American, Afro-Caribbean, and LATINX descent) designer and educator based in Providence, RI where he is an Associate Professor of Graphic Design at RISD. He works in a hybrid design/teaching practice, focusing on collaboration, inclusion, unearthing, and the responsible expansion of design, a practice he has named “puncturing.” Ramon is a 2024 recipient of the Vilcek Prize in Design.

Ramon collaborated with Silas Munro on a series of workshops titled Throwing the Bauhaus Under the Bus and served, in collaboration with Polymode, as curator and lead on the BIPOC Design History: Incomplete Latinx Stories of Diseño Gráfico.

The Matthias Kemeny Design Lecture Series is coordinated and managed by students in our A+D Projects class. This series brings internationally celebrated design professionals annually to Portland to give a lecture for the benefit of the students and faculty in the Graphic Design program and the broader design community. This series is free and open to the public and highlights a wide range of design practices in an attempt to facilitate a community-wide dialogue about design and related fields. The Matthias D. Kemeny Charitable Fund of the Oregon Jewish Community Foundation has made the series possible.

Organized by Portland State University Graphic Design
