This online session of presentations and discussions, selected from an open call, examines recent research and critical issues around contemporary drawing.

Along with Modern Films, Drawing Room is co-hosting a virtual Q&A chaired by Not Without My Ghosts curator Marco Pasi to celebrate the release of a new film about the life and work of Spiritualist artist Hilma af Klint.

Writer and researcher Dr. Richard Shillitoe discusses the life and work of British artist, writer and occultist Ithell Colquhoun. As the talk sets out to show, she took her inspiration from the spiritual world as much as she did from the natural world, making extensive use of automatic drawing and painting methods as well as the contents of her dreams.

We invite teachers, artists and educators to an interactive Zoom workshop led by artist Alexis Teplin.

Not Without My Ghosts curator Simon Grant leads an online panel discussion with art historian and expert on Surrealism, Professor Dawn Ades; exhibition artist Olivia Plender; and curator and archivist at the College of Psychic Studies, Vivienne Roberts.

Drawing Room is pleased to invite Drawing Circle, Network members and special guests to an online artist studio talk and tour with Ann Churchill.
