Rabbit Rabbit is an annual curated journal of artists and innovators.Each issue, we pick a theme and bring you a variety of stories on that theme. For our first issue, we were curious about the transition from higher education to the "real world". We invited recent graduates with Masters and PhDs in a variety of fields to interpret, express, and comment on TRANSITION. The result is a carefully curated book of artworks, images, and writings from 21 recent graduates all navigating the next stage of their worlds.
