• Summary

  This publication records the transcript of a discussion which took place at Press Press, Baltimore in 2017, which took as its subject the newest issue of Scroll, an all intern-produced annual publication by The Contemporary in Baltimore. The issue, titled “A Tender Thing,” is comprised of five vignettes taking various literary and visual forms that explore the ways arts practices (here framed as practices of self-care) exist as forms of resistance and survival. The discussion explored the ways the authors used tenderness as a strategy to build in space for empathy and support throughout their collaborative process. A Tender Talk features the "Manifesto for Tender Collaborative Work," assembled during the live discussion.
