Lychee One, London
16 Sep - 30 Oct 2021
'Hapticity: A Theory of Touch and Identity' is a group exhibition curated by Enam Gbewonyo and Marcelle Joseph that features the work of an inspiring roster of 11 international artists and designers, cross-generational in scope and working across a myriad of material-based practices that interweave the processes of tactile making with the complex intersectional frameworks of race, gender, sexuality and class today. How does touch express lived experience and humanity? The exhibition includes quilts by Gee's Bend Quiltmakers and Basil Kincaid, ceramics by Renee So, Cristina Tufiño and Michaela Yearwood-Dan, fibre-based tapestries by Enam Gbewonyo, Emily Moore and Anya Paintsil, and other textile-based works by Youngsook Choi, Eric N. Mack and the late Althea McNish.
