modern queer herosCome and join us for a fun and informal life drawing event based on the theme of Modern Queer Heroes.
This is a Zoom event on 2– 4pm 1st July.  Places are limited. Details will be sent after registration. Register via Eventbrite

This event is based on the animation Modern Queer Heroes.  Each pose will be based on a different hero – can you guess which hero the pose depicts? This will be a combination of short and medium length poses with props, working with professional dancer and artist model Maya Williams and hosted by the University of Brighton.
