Raúl Romero: Sound Check

June 21 - August 22, 2025

Raúl Romero is a Philadelphia-based 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.

The exhibition is on view from June 21 - August 22, 2025, with a public opening reception June 21 from 6-8 PM. Romero will also be hosting an artist-led program during the run of the show, more information to be announced soon.
