Lisi Raskin’s creative and curricular practices are laboratories for building bridges between politicized subject matter, queer ontologies, utopian architecture, abstraction, collaborative making, non-hierarchical interventions into normative systems of power, and engaged pedagogy. These laboratories support the making of paintings, drawings, objects, videos, animations, and large, constructed environments that house pedagogical, performative, and socially engaged programming. Raskin is a member of the rock band Peebls. With this group, Raskin loved, laughed, learned, cooked, and ate while co-authoring a demo album of intersectional propaganda for children of all ages. Raskin is working on a book about engaged and inclusive pedagogy. They are the Department Head of Sculpture at RISD.
