This major cross-generational exhibition will span both gallery spaces and includes new and existing print work from the early 2000s to present day. Soft Impressions focuses on the artists’ shared engagement with and strategic use of the medium of printmaking, contextualised alongside works in installation, moving image, textiles and a painted mural.
The exhibition draws its title from printmaking, where each work pulled from a printing plate is called an impression - the same term can be used to denote the application of pressure in creating prints. Soft Impressions engages with printmaking’s role in the historic distribution of ideas about race and depictions of otherness, and its use as a tool for both political activism and propaganda.
