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.

This is not silence. This is softness with a pulse; let it be felt.
