the event
SOFTCORE’s release event was hosted at 308 in Nashville and supported by Red Bull. SOFTCORE’s various team members and artists transformed the space to take you into the world created in “A Stone Swims Near”. The event began at 7 with an advanced play of the compilation, networking, interactive art photo-ops, and cocktails. The party paused at 8 for a screening of the film and a few words from SOFTCORE. Following the film, at 8:30, the party was ramped up with a DJ performance by Sey Akabo and a final performance of N.BODY by Shmuck and MORGXN.
