Collecting Drawing

Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking talk on the art of collecting and championing drawing practices. Collector and curator Sarah Elson, founder of Launchpad, joins forces with Oyinkansola Dada, founder of Dada Gallery (London/Lagos) for a conversation with a selection of Drawing Biennial 2026 artists – Okiki Akinfe, Peter Davies, Kemi Onabule, Anna Perach, Lara Shahnavaz and Sharon Walters – exploring what it means to collect and support artists’ drawing practice today. The artists themselves will also take the floor, sharing insights into their works in the Biennial, offering a rare, personal glimpse into their creative processes.

Expect lively discussion, fresh perspectives, and a unique opportunity to hear directly from those shaping contemporary drawing today.
