Our bodies both inhabit and contain their own spaces. They have a natural ability to understand others through movement and sensation, existing in an ever-changing relationship with the things around us.
In this sensory and tactile laboratory, explore the physicality of your body as you discover how it moves and feels among soft sculptures, objects, and other bodies.
This commission is made up of new sculptures and those originally conceived for the UNIQLO Tate Play: Holiday Make Studio: The Joy of Feeling at Tate Modern, London 2025.
About HoLD Collective
Artists Sarah Marsh and Stephanie Jefferies create art to hold or be held within, disrupting hierarchical divisions between art and engagement. Their immersive environments use sensory materials and sculptural objects to foster calm and playful experiences. Drawing on Early Years Montessori Pedagogy, and experience working with neurodivergent and SEND audiences, HoLD Art Collective craft spaces for tactile connections, joyful encounters, and shared memories.
