Rewind Review Respond
Rewind Review Respond (RRR) is an online forum hosted on CCA.edu, where CCA students write about recent events and the ideas that affect their practice, communities, and fields of study. We invite you, the CCA community, to take time to rewind your week back to these events, take a deeper dive into ideas discussed, and respond to these reviews.

Volume 6 marks the beginning of RRR’s expansion from covering only on-campus activities to also covering off-campus events that celebrate the CCA community’s impact throughout the Bay Area. Check out our collaboration with Glen Helfand’s graduate-level writing class Art & Language for reviews of exhibitions city-wide, including the SECA Award Exhibition at SFMOMA and 10/27/03 at MoAD. This Volume also includes reflections on lectures hosted by the Visual & Critical Studies and Design programs, programming at the Wattis, an interview with student curators, and reviews of the first-ever exhibitions installed at the brand new CCA Campus Gallery. Volume 6 (spring 2023) was edited by Liz Godbey and Emilia Shaffer-Del Valle, with original graphics by Anjni Shah.
Volume 5 offers a peek into the range of programs, media, and exhibitions at CCA. The arts reporters in this Volume review exhibitions at the Wattis and the Nave, reflect on lectures in the Visual & Critical Studies and the MFA Writing programs, and highlight the artistic practices of some of the graduating BFA students. This Volume also features our first ever comic, made in response to a panel hosted by the MBA Design program. Volume 5 was edited by Liz Godbey and Emilia Shaffer-Del Valle, with illustrative editorial designs by Anjni Shah.

With the long-awaited return of the student body to campus, RRR Volume 4 celebrated the embodiment, care, and intimacy unique to in-person gatherings. Writing about artists is an essential element of the art ecosystem. Artists need outside eyes for the value of critique and to communicate a vision, and art provides writers with inspiration. In Volume 4's "Digital Drawing Room" issue, RRR brought the two sides together as part of Glen Helfand's Art and Language course. Seven writers took different approaches to introduce the artists of the graduating MFA Class of 2022. In this issue, you’ll find written and video interviews, thematic essays, epistolary forms, and fictionalization, offered as a means of introduction to a cohort of artists and writers we know we’ll see and read more of in the future. Volume 4 (spring 2022) was edited by Katherine Jemima Hamilton and Liz Godbey, with original graphics by Sora Won.
Volume 3 (fall 2021) includes the publication's first foray into visual art commissions. Designer Sora Won integrated original artwork into each article by hand-drawing their cover pages. Reflecting on the Uh Oh Trio’s performance at the closing of Maia Pallileo Cruz’s solo show at the Wattis, Clio Nelson produced vibrant illustrations that captured the performers’ slow movements drawn out over the course of the gallery's open hours. Volume 3 was edited by Katherine Jemima Hamilton and Liz Godbey, with original graphics by Sora Won.
Volume 2 (spring 2021) includes RRR's first special issues: "Digital Drawing Room" and "BFA Senior Thesis Conversations." As part of RRR’s mission to be a digital space for students to converse, the work in “Digital Drawing Room" provides insight into individual graduating MFA students’ work. Written by students in Glen Helfand and Maria Porges’ respective graduate writing seminars, this series of interviews and artist profiles brings the reader closer to the artists and their artwork. "BFA Senior Thesis Conversations" are live virtual events where graduating students from CCA's undergrad fine arts programs publicly share their capstone work. In anticipation of these events, RRR invited seniors to share their influences, their artwork, and their plans for the future with us. RRR Vol. 2 was edited by Katherine Jemima Hamilton and Liz Godbey, with original graphics by Sarah Chieko Bonnickson.
Volume I (fall 2020) of Review Rewind Respond was our initial attempt at connecting the CCA community through writing during an entirely digital school year. Amid a global pandemic and a politically fraught election year in the U.S., this Volume centered voices speaking from the margins, calling for long-overdue actions towards equity, justice, empathy, and speaking truth to the many forms of oppressive power that separate and disjoint our relations to one another. The writing includes event reporting and exhibition reviews, different in form but united by the authors' conspicuous passion for community and dialogue. RRR Vol.1 was edited by Katherine Jemima Hamilton, with original graphics by Sarah Chieko Bonnickson.
