Prof. Ricardo Miranda created the illustrations for the fall 2024 subway ad campaign for the School of Practical Philosophy & Meditation.  See the work posted across the subway system.

Prof. Miranda states “The design team began by considering current events and New York City realities – the protests due to the ongoing Israel-Hamas War, upcoming national elections, heightened political tensions, rising rents… And yet New Yorkers are incredibly resilient. Tourism appears to be thriving. Based on the heavy daily traffic, it appears that the city is hard at work. New building projects are everywhere and there isn’t enough housing. New immigrants are increasingly integrated into the city life… We sought to create an advertising campaign that captured the ongoing unrest while also celebrating the resilience of New Yorkers and adjacent to it all, the peace that one may achieve through philosophy and meditation.”

Prof. Ricardo Miranda’s work is part of a group exhibition.  His current project “esfuerzo” is on view as an installation:

Spiritual Machines on view at 404A Colonel Row, Governors Island through 9/21.

“esfuerzo” is also part of the 2024 Game Devs of Color Expo. Prof. Miranda will give a presentation on Fri. 9/20 | 1:45PM.

What do we retain about our humanity through cultural shifts that leave us accelerated far beyond what our ancestors dreamed of? Spiritual Machines, an art exhibition at Flux Factory on Governors Island presents interdisciplinary works by leading contemporary artists encompassing new media, video, sculpture, installation, and performance.
