Raúl Romero

Adjunct Faculty Visual Studies

Raúl Romero is an artist whose practice explores the intercommunication between people and the environment. Drawing from technological histories, communication tools, ancient artifacts, sound production tools, instruments, and his Puerto Rican ancestry, Romero examines how sound acts as a bridge connecting the past, present, and future. His work investigates themes of nostalgia, the exploitation of colonialism, and environmental impact, presenting sound as a dynamic force that can be heard, seen, and physically felt through vibration.

Romero holds an MFA in Sculpture from the Yale University School of Art and is a member of the Vox Populi Gallery artist collective. His work has been exhibited at institutions including The Fabric Workshop and Museum and Taller Puertorriqueño in Philadelphia, Locust Projects in Miami, The Kitchen in New York, the Denver Contemporary Art Museum, Transformer Gallery in Washington D.C., Delaware Center for Contemporary Art, as well as in Florida at The Contemporary Art Museum, The Museum of Science and Industry, and the Tampa Museum of Art.
