about
The archive of tenderness is a collaborative platform and an unstable collection of tender moments, sounds, gestures, theories and stories. An exploration into what it means to engage with the world in a tender way.
The archive asks, if a tender relation to the world can be a mode of resistance and open possibilities for transformation of social structures and ingrained habits.
The first constellation of the archive’s works was called landscapes skins fabrics and combined a small artist-book with performances, drawings, recordings and sound. The second constellation soft earth, unburned took the shape of a performance with accompanying video recordings.
