SUMMARY:(re)Framing Protest (Now): Design + Hope
DESCRIPTION:(re)Framing Protest (NOW) Design + Hope expands on the powerful 2022 show with new programming and a beautifully produced printed catalog. Developed in partnership with Richmond Free Press photojournalists Regina H. Boone and Sandra Sellars\, the exhibition shows how creative expression and design fueled the work of activists\, artists\, and organizers who mobilized during the summer of 2020 to collectively support and amplify the Black Lives Matter movement. Graffiti\, graphic design\, and spontaneous public art became both tools of resistance and acts of reflection—capturing the pain of a city while offering hope and healing. \nThe (re)Framing Protest (NOW): Design + Hope catalog\, designed by April Coleman\, Vice President of Production at the Richmond Free Press\, features expanded text from the original exhibition by writer and creative strategist Nichole Christian\, deepening the exhibition’s impact\, continued relevance\, and narrative. \n  \n

DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the opening night of 𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘚𝘏𝘈𝘋𝘖𝘞 𝘖𝘍 𝘈 𝘗𝘌𝘛𝘈𝘓: 𝘍𝘓𝘖𝘙𝘈𝘓 𝘋𝘌𝘚𝘐𝘎𝘕 𝘐𝘕𝘚𝘐𝘋𝘌 𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘊𝘖𝘜𝘕𝘛𝘠 𝘑𝘈𝘐𝘓 on July 11th from 6-9pm. \nThe project is centered around a series of Floral Therapy workshops with Chesterfield County Jail’s nationally recognized recovery program\, H.A.R.P.

SUMMARY:Ruined
DESCRIPTION:Curated by John Ryland of Richmond-based Classified Moto\, Ruined showcases the raw creativity and industrial edge that have made the shop a cult favorite around the world. In John’s view\, being told he’s “ruined” a perfectly good bike is a badge of honor—it means he’s taken a run-of-the-mill machine and turned it into something unexpected\, personal\, and unforgettable. \nThe exhibition features some of Classified Moto’s most recognized builds\, including the motorcycle designed in 2014 for AMC’s The Walking Dead\, built for the character Daryl Dixon (played by Norman Reedus). This one-of-a-kind bike became an instant icon\, appearing in AMC’s promotional campaigns and displayed at events like San Diego Comic-Con. \nVisitors to Ruined will have the rare opportunity to sit on Daryl’s bike and take photos—a hands-on moment few fans have ever experienced.

SUMMARY:Ruined and Refined: Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:The Branch Museum of Design presents Ruined and Refined—two exhibitions exploring innovation in motorcycle and scooter design—opening Thursday\, July 24\, 2025. \nRuined\, curated by John Ryland of Richmond-based Classified Moto\, fills the Long Gallery with custom motorcycles that highlight transformation and purpose. A centerpiece of the show is the motorcycle built in 2014 for AMC’s The Walking Dead\, used by Daryl Dixon (played by Norman Reedus). Designed by Classified Moto\, the bike appeared in promotional campaigns and events like San Diego Comic-Con. Visitors will have the rare chance to sit on the bike and take photos—a hands-on experience few fans have had. \nIn the Main Gallery\, Refined: The Design of Vespa traces the evolution of one of the world’s most recognizable scooters. At the heart of the exhibition is the Vespa 946 “Snake”—a rare\, numbered model released in 2025 for the Year of the Snake. With its sculptural silhouette and precision detailing\, this limited-edition scooter represents the cutting edge of Vespa’s design evolution. Refined places the 946 Snake alongside a collection of vintage and modern scooters\, showing how form and function have shifted over time while remaining unmistakably Vespa. \nJoin us for a free opening reception on Thursday\, July 24\, from 6–8 PM.  Guests will enjoy access to both exhibitions and photo opportunities with Daryl’s bike. Open bar and light snacks will be provided.  \nPresented with generous support from GEICO Richmond\, Matt Smith | MSE Properties\, Ivor Massey\, and Virginia Coalition of Motorcyclists (VCOM). Special thanks to Moto Richmond\, Lucky Signs\, Lucas Gaitan and Rhiannon Newman.
