The Dot Project presents Permission to Touch?, a group exhibition featuring the work of 15 international artists working across diverse material-based practices that explore intersections of touch, identity and memory through their creative processes.
The artists use alternative visual languages to tell broader stories, whether personal or communal. For some, the joy lies in discovering new freedoms through traditional techniques- manipulating paint and textiles, weaving and shaping textures to flow from immediate sensory engagement to one deeper embedded in their material layers. Others empoly their materials to explore the delicate tension between security and vulnerability. Many of the exhibited pieces reflect on the role of touch- a fundamental form of connection that plays in the formation of our identities and memories: every mark, stitch, and material transformation reflects a detail of lived experience.
