Art and Design Historian and Educator

Forrest Riise Pelsue is an educator, writer, and historian whose work focuses on craft and making in art and design. She is interested in the objects that surround us in daily life, today and in the past, and the stories they can tell about our politics, economy, and society. In order to unpack these structures, she strives to take a feminist and anticolonial approach to design history.
