RAWRA
RAWRA (Iara)
RAWRA, a queer multidisciplinary artist, explores the intersection of the raw and the weird. Borrowing from Dr. Schultz of the Internal Family Systems psychology, “Our parts can sometimes be disruptive or harmful, but once they are unburdened, they return to their essential goodness. When we learn to love all our parts, we can learn to love all people– and that will contribute to healing the world.” In a world desensitized to terror and unconnected, albeit being the most technologically connected ever, we must change the ways of addressing the “doom” that looms over us as a society and individual. The first step towards community change is realizing the change within. Through magical realism, dark comedy, and queer love, RAWRA’s work invites audiences to reflect on their internal landscapes effect on their external actions.
