3. From Fragments to Frameworks: Collage-Making as Process, Practice, and Pedagogy
Astha Thakkar, Visual Artist & Educator
Winner of the 2025 Krider Prize for Creativity
Presented by the UCDA Foundation

Join Astha Thakkar as she discusses her process-oriented approach to design, where collage serves as both method and metaphor for inquiry. The talk will explore how acts of layering, deconstruction, and re-contextualization become tools for iterative thinking and reflection.
