Back in BK. I bought this car for $5000 after my brother was killed. I was mute for years. People loved that car and talked to me. It forced me to communicate again and love on people. Thank you God. #littlebigmoments #unexpectedobjects by @amatus23

SOFT IS POWER is inspired by the concept of soft power, coined by political scientist Joseph S. Nye to describe the ability to influence through attraction, persuasion, and culture rather than force.

Emotional intelligence, intuition, tenderness, cooperation, vulnerability, receptivity, and care are seen as “less than” in dominant culture. Yet these are the forces that build trust, spark change, and shift consciousness.

Practicing softness in a harsh world is radical, strategic and vi
sionary. What if softness isn’t a counterpoint to power, but a form of power itself?

A 2 week long installation hosted by Jamie Nami Kim and Paul Waters at their studio on 163 Bowery, New York, NY.

Opening Night Celebration: November 6, 2025

163 Bowery, New York, NY. 6pm - 8pm
