Raffaella

On LIVE, RAFF, LOVE, Raffaella confronts and contorts the liminal space between adolescence and adulthood, creating a world with as much novelty as there is nostalgia. The Minneapolis-based artist narrates with a specificity so intense you immediately absorb each sensory detail (the cotton candy and cigarette smoke, drunken kisses and stoned malaise). In following the shape of a play, LIVE, RAFF, LOVE's Act II evolves into something heavier. The result is a body of work establishing Raffaella as one of pop’s sharpest observers of human behavior, transforming her self-reflection into revelatory insight on the sublime chaos in coming-of-age. She has previously opened for Samia, Liz Phair, Del Water Gap and more.
