Press against; Soften into explores fat as a material, an identity and a form of embodiment. The exhibition responds to conventions in contemporary art that distinguish between normal and fat bodies.

Join Firstdraft for our January/February exhibition openings
Motherhood and fertility have been extensively represented in creative practice for both their pictorial qualities and in the documentation of lived experiences. These representations continue to play an important role in shaping public perceptions of womanhood, while infertility is underrepresented, silenced or deemed contentious – often framed in terms of lack or failure.
ALGAEIC INTENT investigates the ways in which Algae thrive in the wreckage of capitalism (it grows in response to the excesses of agriculture and suffocates fish via depletion of oxygen) and how this can operate as a mirror/reflective distortion of our intermingled biological actions and porous relations to matter.
Join us from 2-4pm on Saturday 1 February for FREE artist talks with the artists of the January/February exhibitions, including Zi Qin, Dean Quilin Li, Jincheng Deng, Erin Hallyburton, carolyn craig and Cecilia Sordi Campos.
