Young Artist Initiative (YAI) Presents RAW, a 3-floor immersive multi-sensory pop up from December 6th to December 9th at the Historic Post Office Building in Downtown Miami during Art Basel 2017.
RAW is a disruptive local presence empowering emerging artists during the most important week for the arts in Miami. This is the first and only art event to take place at the Historic Post Office Building.
In today’s world, the human mind is constantly overstimulated, not focused on living in the present moment. For its next installment, YAI has selected RAW as the curatorial thesis for site-specific installations. The human senses will be stripped to their purest form; ready to be felt in a raw space. With over 40+ emerging artists interpreting the senses, RAW’s pop up aims to challenge, engage and awaken.
WED .06 8pm – Reset x Young Artist Initiative
Welcome to Reset. A cosmic journey through your senses and energy system. Immerse yourself in a 3-floor sensory experience featuring interactive art installations, herbal cocktails, sensory tea tasting and otherworldly music. Reset your mind and awaken your senses.
THURS .07 8pm – El Batatono by Myopía
Welcome to Miami’s first robe party. Imported from Peru, El Batatono brings people together under the idea that robes are transitional garments – illustrating the gap between nakedness and proper clothing and constructing a bigger metaphor for what Snake People are: a generation in transition. Online Ticket includes 1 bata (Psychedelic Peruvian Robe). Limited stock only.

The senses unfold as Young Artist Initiative presents their signature night featuring over 40+ emerging artists, special performances, and 3 floors of immersive installations. Awaken your RAW senses and experience art through a new lens. Are you ready?
