The spring 2025 Procession of Forms is an experimental project created by students in the first-year Design Studies 1020 studios. They will wear, carry, roll, fly, or otherwise transport their large-scale sculptural forms in a coordinated “processional performance” from 1:10–2 p.m. Friday, April 4, around the Iowa State University campus. The community is invited to stop by and observe the parade.
