About

Emotionalism is a 21st century art and architecture movement putting focus on human emotions in the context of contemporary societal challenges. 

It emerged in 2019-20, conceived through two parallel strands that coalesced into an evolving discourse. A lecture by architectural critic and author Herbert Wright inspired a joint Emotionalism manifesto by Wright as well as artist, architect and filmmaker Tszwai So. In the same period, So and artist and spatial designer Natasha Reid conceptualised Emotionalism as a new form of practice to be developed through an international art group and design laboratory.

Today the growing Emotionalists group encompasses thinkers, writers, artists, architects, filmmakers and more from around the world. The movement aims to converge work from across different fields to strengthen and enrich debate, create new links between like-minded practitioners and support contributors to grow the reach of the Emotionalism.
