.RAW is a slow publishing magazine drawing cross-disciplinary connections in arts and humanities, sketching out lines between people, projects, and ideas that oscillate between the digital and the physical.
.RAW highlights research at its initial or interim stages, allowing practitioners from various fields to accumulate material for further projects or papers, meet potential collaborators, and present research to public.

What persists after something is supposed to end?
This time .RAW invites to think with what remains: images that continue circulating long after their resolution drops; buildings that outlive their functions; servers that hum after users leave; archives that preserve and distort; bodies that migrate into data; sounds that echo long after the source is gone.
We are interested in afterlives across physical and digital terrains — not as nostalgia, but as transformation.
What is the afterlife of a platform, a drawing, a game world, an archive, a glitch, a website, a space? What does it mean for these entities to end? What does it mean to resurrect them digitally — and who has the power to do so?
We welcome contributions from illustrators, designers, architects, musicians, coders, anthropologists, sociologists, scientists, archivists, and anyone feeling these questions resonate with their practice.
