RAW features nine contemporary artists working with a range of commodities to reflect upon the history of colonialism, slavery, and globalization. Because many artists in the exhibition view the commodities they utilize as a form of historical record, their deliberate use aims to acknowledge the layers of repressed histories encapsulated within these materials. Works in the exhibition will include sculptural pieces and installations created from cotton, sugar, copper, salt, clay, water, and other materials.
