ABOUT

Formerly an artist, Yara Richter is now the name of an art collective made up of Ra Eola, El-i Teer, K@ka Pi$tol, Yara Sara Goldini and Immanuel Cunt.

The collective uses Yara's name, body, time, and skills for networking and publicity. The collective explores black noise through sound, text, and performance as a framework to imagine and create intersectional ecofeminist and decolonized art and cultural practices.

The person Yara Richter still cultivates creative critique within white institutions, but is increasingly directing their creative resources into spaces that center Black, queer, and crazy people.
