About
Raisa utilises woven text and textiles, sound, video, and performance to materialise concepts concerning the cultural politics of cloth, labour, and embodied geographies. Their (un)weaving performances comment on power, production, disability, and the queer brown body as a living archive of collective trauma.
For their solo exhibition at the Hub, Raisa will present new artworks that respond to the context of our location beside the River Slea. Raisa will present new coracle artworks, painted and filled with materials such as cotton, silk, indigo, cochineal, jute, and flax, exploring the material histories and textile networks between Asia and Europe. Using the architectural steel structure of the exhibition space, they will connect their large-scale looms via thread and loom weights.
Raisa will expand their research into the textile industry in Lincolnshire, textile archives, and South Asian diasporic migration. Raisa’s work responds to histories of textile technologies originating in East, Central, and South Asia, which have directly influenced European centres of technology and weaving knowledge.
