Unpicking Drawing In Social Space

Join Drawing in Social Space collaborators to discuss and unpick three projects developed with Camberwell College of Arts Fine Art students and academics, Drawing Room’s curators and local community partners, artists and collectives from outside of the UK.

We will explore the potential of drawing to weave a web of encounters, creating conditions for dialogue, exchange, translation and connections, and reflect on how a higher education institution, a contemporary art gallery, students, artists, community organisations and schools worked together. How did the partnership develop, what were the stakes, what were the successes and complexities?
