Drawing in Social Space: Project 1 connects Bolivian activist collective, Mujeres Creando, BA Fine Art students and Young Girlz Matter – a collective of 12–17 year old female students from Southbank University Academy. Over six weeks the groups spent time connecting and exploring what it means to be part of a collective, reflecting on the processes of Mujeres Creando through drawing activities, visits to the university, walks, games and sharing food, all situated in the context of South East London. A co-produced zine which documented the groups shared work and experiences was gifted to the girls at a celebration event and will be archived in the libraries of Camberwell College of Arts, Drawing Room, and Southbank Academy University.
Drawing in Social Space seeks to explore drawing beyond the gallery walls and in the context of public realm settings, creating connections locally and globally.
