About the Artwork

Soft Resistance is a hand-constructed sculptural textile that understands softness as a form of protection. Its curved aluminium structure and softly stretched satin surface create a quiet armour, one that shelters while remaining open, responsive and alive. The work connects queer, diasporic identity to material presence: nazar blue becomes a protective atmosphere, a threshold between vulnerability and resilience. Anchored in touch, intuition and embodied decision-making, the piece embraces the analogue, valuing approximation, sensitivity and the subtle shifts of a body in space. In resisting the fixed precision of digital systems, Soft Resistance proposes softness as a resilient mode of survival and a generative form of resistance.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Sanna Namin (b. 1995) is a Swedish-Iranian artist, born in Stockholm and based in London. They work with sculpture, textiles and performance to explore identity and the tensions between personal histories and cultural narratives. They're drawn to materials like fabric, foam and metal, pushing them to their limits so the forms sit somewhere between object and body. They graduated from RCA in 2023, specialising in sculpturewear within the fashion pathway. In 2024, they received the Carl Cason Award. Their work has been featured in Dazed, and they recently curated and exhibited in 'Softening the Edges' at the Koppel Project.
