ARTISTS' STATEMENT

Touch Games is an amalgamation of visual art, poetry, music and dance, brought together in an autobiographical conversation between us. This may find resonance in others, in the nostalgia of childhood, and games, and perhaps a realisation of the question: how will we play now? The conversation puts in perspective how we played as children in playgrounds, touching, and holding each other freely. We hypothesize that playing and touching will change after the pandemic. Not just play among children, but also how adults play and touch would change in our intimate lives.
