RAKE is a visual research collective founded in December 2019 by multimedia artists Nancy Hurman (she/her, UK), Flora Thomas (she/her, UK), Vera Zurbrügg (she/her, Switzerland) and Nuno Guerreiro de Sousa (he/him, Portugal). The four met while pursuing an MA in Photojournalism & Documentary Photography.
Strongly informed by its members’ varied backgrounds - spanning science, technology, activism and education - RAKE pushes the boundaries of traditional photography and reportage, working to develop the interface between art, politics and the internet. Members use open-source data and evolving investigation techniques to inform collaborative visual enquiries that examine human rights violations, government censorship, surveillance and bureaucratic violence.
The collective also facilitates RAKE Community, a dynamic platform for writers, artists and researchers to conduct collaborative investigations.
RAKE has been featured on platforms including The Guardian, Der Greif, Creative Review, Aesthetica Magazine and C4 Journal.
