Join local Boston artist J Rowen O’Dwyer (they/she/he) for an inspiring afternoon of discussion and art-making. Starting with a conversation in the Poss Family Mediatheque, O’Dwyer will discuss how ideas of representation, queer history, and community organizing inform their interdisciplinary art practice.
Following the talk, join O’Dwyer for a beginner-friendly live figure drawing session in Portraits from the ICA Collection. In this relaxed and experimental session, you will be invited to draw and be drawn, embracing self-representation in an intimate and supportive space. No experience necessary! Just come ready to listen and create.
While all experience levels are welcome, this workshop is designed for adults. Supplies are limited; first come, first served. This program is inspired by the exhibition Portraits from the ICA Collection.
Images of works of art with mature material including nudity, and sexual content will be shown as part of the lecture portion of this program.
