tender
tender (2021) is a manifesto. A self-published zine with 16 mantra’s spread over A3 posters loosely bound by a blue elastic band, as well as a website hosted via a Feminist Server. Interested in the act of publishing and creating publics through making it public. Tender is an offering to explore inter-species earthly relational lessons around care. Presenting reflections and interactivity as a provocation to conjure a portal for un–learning and re–learning. By creating this work, I gesture towards emergent strategies that continues collective thought–work and actions towards harm reduction throughout trans-cosmic relations. For me tender will serve as a barometer to hold close whilst submerged within the interstitial boundlessness of being an artist navigating the urgencies at this point of global crisis.
Tender was supported by NewBridge Project and John Hansard Gallery.
