Toughness and Tenderness | Private View

The Private View for Toughness and Tenderness, a collective exhibition of queer artists

Bermondsey Project Space

LGBTQIA+ HISTORY MONTH

This February BPS celebrates LGBTQIA+ History month with a series of performances, talks and live art events.

A probe into the waltzing tension between toughness and tenderness, this collective exhibition of queer artists, celebrates the building of a culture around symbols of identity and ways of being. Red-lips, fluidity, fire, softness, caress, kiss, scratch, leather, pumping, flesh. Collaging a sense of self and community within contradictions and between binaries.Come along to the Private View of Toughness and Tenderness for your chance to meet the artists, explore the exhibition, and immerse yourself in the culture and community surrounding these works. Exhibiting Artists include: Cris Volpe, Hanon, Imogen Cleverley, Jesse Glazzard, Jody Evans, Josiah Moktar, Juliusz Grabianski, Kia Matanky-Becker, Maria Mautino, Maite de Orbe, Jessie Patrick-Hooper, Meg Vaughan, Annalisa Hayes, Eleanor Daly, Martha Summers &quot;Outer shells of leather and metal rub against warm flesh in the corners of the early hours. This armour cracks to unveil a gentle, throbbing heart. Pinkness role plays a devilish charm, soft at first, later, hard as stone.&quot;Coding and flagging, not deleted, bodies not censored, pleasure not determined, love not criminalized. Originally inspired by poetry on queer relationships/erotica, this group exhibition responds to identification through sculpture, digital art, photography, spoken word, poetry, painting, video and installations. “Toughened, turning the other cheek, and turning it again to receive a lover’s kiss,choose for tonight, tough or tender, and choose again in the morning.knowing that you can see through the act.Leather cracks in the tender crevicesall my strength to hold you down and to hold you up.”
