Re-discovery: Winter/Spring 2025 programme

A creative group for those living with dementia and their carers

Draw!

We shape projects alongside artists, children, schools, families, teachers, young people, students, adults and local community groups to explore drawing in all its forms. Drawing is used as a means to play, experiment, communicate, collaborate and come together in a process of collective learning.

Library & Research

Our Library & Research Centre is a growing specialist reference library currently includes approximately 4,000 books and 70 journal titles on drawing since the 1970s, and includes rare items not held in other major UK and Irish libraries. The general reference collection includes artists’ monographs featuring drawing, exhibition catalogues, journals, theory, collection catalogues, and surveys on drawing.

Just under a week until CRYPTIC LINES: A Conversat

Just under a week until CRYPTIC LINES: A Conversation between Hardeep Pandhal and Anita Dawood.

4 March, 6:30-8pm at Drawing Room, Bermondsey

Anita is editor of the monograph ‘Hardeep Pandhal: Inheritance Quest’ (2024) and has a particular interest in artists with South and West Asian ancestry. In what promises to be a very rich conversation, Hardeep and Anita will cover the generative potential of drawing, the creative process behind the Hardeep's exhibition at Drawing Room, 'Inner World', and his wider practice.

The exhibition has given the artist the opportunity to use drawing as a means to connect unselfconsciously with his inner world. The volume and variety of drawings produced, often as a stream of consciousness, attest to the multiplicity and complexity of his influences and preoccupations.
