Softening the Edges

Curators

Sanna Namin

Softening the Edges is a group exhibition that explores how softness and sculptural form intertwine through material and gesture. Led by women artists, it brings together practices rooted in touch, material experimentation, and embodied experience to explore themes of identity, representation, gender, and materiality. Softening the Edges creates a space for dialogue around hybrid practices - those that blur the boundaries between disciplines to propose more inclusive and emotionally resonant forms of expression. At its core, the exhibition centers on the malleable and tactile qualities of soft sculpture as a guiding motif. Through wearable works, textile-based installations, performance, and sculptural objects, Softening the Edges reflects on the intimacy of textiles and the spatial presence of form. This convergence emphasizes the emotional, political, and cultural dimensions of softness, inviting viewers to reconsider how materiality shapes both personal and collective identities.
