Sally Anderson, Sarah Drinan, Laura Jones, India Mark, Dionisia Salas, Julia Trybala, and Amber Wallis present new and existing work that delve into the concept of ‘tenderness’.
The term “tender” has rich and varied meanings, and these works explore its significance beyond a gender lens – as a multifaceted human experience, woven into the human form and permeating all aspects of life, from physical gesture and sensory perception to how we feel about and express ourselves; from gender, identity and the body to domesticity, womanhood, motherhood and mental health.
