Life Drawing the Queer Body
November 20 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Home Studio invites members of the queer and trans Global Majority community to learn life drawing with nude models taught by Maya Vivas.
This event is created for people who are part of both communities: Black or Global Majority and queer or trans. Thank you for respecting this intentional space.
Within a small intimate group, artists will be able to learn new techniques of drawing or practice what they already know with the intention of fostering relationships with fellow artists over the course of five classes throughout the year.
Maya Vivas is a multidisciplinary artist working in a variety of mediums such as ceramic, performance, painting, social practice and installation. Maya has exhibited work, spoken on panels and hosted workshops at Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, The National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts, Louisiana State University and Yale. Vivas is also co-founder of Ori Gallery. Whose mission is to redefine “the white cube” through amplifying the voices of Queer and Trans Artists of color, community organizing and mobilization through the arts.
In the beginning we will have an introduction of each other and the Home Studio project. We will each share what drew us to gather around life drawing and then Maya will spend 10-15 mins explaining their technique. The class will then begin to draw in 20 minute intervals of live posing with 5 minute breaks in between. At the end there will be an opportunity to share and receive feedback.
