Drawing the Black body, drawing on Queer experience.
We’re excited to be working with iconic artist-photographer, curator, archivist and activist Ajamu X to offer life drawing in his South London creative haven. To highlight his critical work around Black LGBTQIA+ experiences, we’ll be welcoming life models who accentuate and celebrate the thrust of that work and their own inimitable Queerness, regardless of sexuality.
We should also mention that most of the models will be posing for the very first time, taking that first step in realising the creative and discursive power of their bodies.
However, in May, we welcome Mauricia Lewis - writer, actress, life model, creative - to the life room, a tour de force on the art modelling circuit who's known for her exuberance and dynamism.
This is an inclusive, accessible drawing experience for all levels of ability, because, frankly, everyone can draw. Believe it!
Boards, paper and materials are also very much included, but feel free to bring your own. Dry materials only can be used in the studio.
Hosted by Roy Joseph Butler, with guidance on where to begin and how to continue.
Spaces are limited, so please book online, and reach out if this is not possible.
£15 per person + £1.96 sales fee | Personal assistants free. DM for details.
