This collection of visual artists and writers have come together to present their works on tenderness. The selection is a celebration of healthy, fulfilling and nourishing human relationships of every kind. It draws focus to the emotional and physical benefits of allowing someone to care for you whilst knowing, in tandem, how to care for yourself. 

The confident array of artists capture vibrant verisimilitude with their photographs, playful abstraction with their materials and subtle joys with their words. The spectrum mirrors the narratives they portray of love, friendship and allyship, supporting kindness in every medium. 

Tender has been curated on behalf of the charity, Tender. 

Tender is an education and arts charity committed to preventing domestic abuse and sexual violence in the lives of young people. They deliver a wide range of drama and arts-based projects which empower young people, and the adults who work with them, to actively prevent domestic abuse and sexual violence, and promote gender equality in schools, youth centres, universities and workplaces. Since 2017, They have reached over 400,000 young people in London and through their regional hubs around the UK.

They have three aims:

•   To educate young people about violence and abuse in relationships

• To challenge attitudes which tolerate, condone and conceal abusive behaviour and unhealthy relationships

•  To empower young people with the knowledge and confidence to speak out and seek support if they, or someone they know, is experiencing abuse
