To address the insurrection incited by President Trump at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, January 6, BFA Illustration faculty member Edel Rodriguez created this cover for the next issue of The New Yorker. “A part of America died on January 6th,” Rodriguez said. “The flag at half-mast marks that moment.”
