Work in Progress: RAFT, by Yanira Castro

How to build a world from the detritus of a faltering society? How do we respond to the environment, people, and objects around us? How can we hold a more sacred relationship to one another? This in-progress installation from artist Yanira Castro and her design team—including Kathy Couch and RPI alum Stephan Moore—invites you to enter and effect a rumbling, buoyant, weather-like microcosm constructed of shipping pallets, clothing bundles, tarps, and emergency paraphernalia. Explore how your own actions, presence, and storytelling influence the space and atmosphere; stay to share your experience of this early stage of development with the artists.
