A Soft Touch brings together contemporary artists whose practices engage visually and conceptually with the material ‘softness’ of textiles but whose works clearly embody values of empowerment and resistance. Speaking from a range of feminist, queer, migrant and decolonial positionalities, the artists of A Soft Touch invite audiences to recognise the importance of living in the world with softness at heart and what possibilities are granted by these expressions.
