Working Title LIVE ART WEEKENDS present – Soft Rebellion

In a world desensitised by ongoing injustice, Soft Rebellion invites artists to explore tenderness as resistance. This Live Art Weekend calls for works that transmute harm, choosing beauty not as ornament, but as evidence of survival.

Duration: 90 mins (Incl Interval)
Age Restriction: No under 16s

We seek a rebellion that provokes. Work that asks: how do we see differently when we refuse to meet brutality with more brutality? This is softness not as weakness, but as strategy.

Curated by Carin Bester
