Tender Exchange

Tender Exchange by Radical Ritual invites you to pause for a moment of connection in the midst of a busy world. Whisper something that matters to you into a carved wooden heart — a hope, a truth, a memory, or a thought you want held — and pass it to someone you trust. The heart beats gently in your hands, and as more voices gather inside it, the rhythm shifts, signalling that it is full and ready to return.

When you bring it back, your words become part of a shared listening ritual — a space where feelings are woven together, and held with care.

In a world more divided than ever, the power of community has never been more vital. Tender Exchange offers a simple yet powerful experience: a living folk exchange that celebrates generosity, vulnerability, and the quiet courage of being heard. It creates a moment where strangers meet with compassion, and trust grows through small acts of openness.

Radical Ritual creates inclusive folk artworks that reweave connection in a fragmented world, inviting people to gather, be seen and heard, and forge deeper relationships with one another and the places they share — opening space for belonging, imagination and collective possibility.
