elRAiSE Caracas is an independent contemporary art gallery based in Los Palos Grandes, Caracas. Founded in 2022 by artist **Andrés Risquez** and directed by curator and artist Maria Bilbao-Herrera, theRAiSE Caracas is conceived as a space for experimentation, critical thinking and active archiving.

Our mission is to sustain and activate artistic practices committed to the present. We work at the intersection between art, body, city and memory, with an expanded vision of art as a tool for transformation, poetic resistance and legacy building.
