Trans 07 - Soft

Soft is the breath that blurs sharp edges, the quiet elusion of fixed categories, the slow wearing away of the rigid. Soft yields, absorbs, envelops. It is the presence that lingers, bending rules without announcing rebellion, dissolving rather than breaking order. Soft forces hold the potential to reshape the hard world through resistance and deformation; subverting norms, transcending categories. Reshaping political spaces by seeping through the cracks, working along the edges, rendering control porous and vulnerable. ‘Trans’ tackles the notion of “soft” through diverse contributions in four chapters: On the Planetary, At a Breaking Point, Through Interaction, From the Margins.
