In the absence of physical connections how can screen-based dialogues remediate the lack of touching? How do we stay in touch when we are out of touch? How can we navigate the unwanted touch of the State through the autonomy of touching in new ways? When can we touch? how do we desire to touch?
HERVISIONS will present an evolving online curatorial proposition featuring a femme-focussed dialogue in response to the current COVID-19 situation. Resulting in a diverse programme of artistic practices that perform across the numerous digital platforms where we are currently connecting with each other.
OUT OF TOUCH seeks to understand new vocabularies of touch when all we have is the digital space. Considering how isolation has accelerated our digital vocabulary and what a meaningful language of touch might be beyond the physical.
