In Giovanni Maisto Ferreira’s Touch Me, To See Us, consensual and loving touch surpasses digital connection and overcomes anxiety for physical contact. Inspired by the idea of the uterus as a primary safe haven, he/they awakens a multisensory world that reminds us how connected we are as human beings, and from there researches the importance and power of physical communication.
What is needed to transform physical touch from a withdrawn movement to a pleasant and familiar act? What role does vulnerability play in this? And what can we learn from communities in which physical touch is a full-fledged part of life, and is even seen as essential to connecting with ourselves and others?
