This year's theme
The theme for Unsound this year is SOFT POWER. Originally used to describe influence exercised through culture rather than force, the phrase now demands re-examination. Unsound asks what softness and power mean in a time of “might makes right”, global lawlessness, artificial intelligence and algorithmic control – alongside a collective desire for comfort, cosiness, and safety that can feel incongruous.
