Join us for Drawing for Life – a creative drawing experience in a space where all abilities are welcomed.

Get ready for the powerful, sensual dynamics of the cast from Follow Your Art. We invite you to a playful, edgy life drawing session taking place within This Moment: Highlights from the White Rabbit Collection of Chinese Contemporary Art.

Four performers will model solo and coupled, orbiting XU ZHEN®s monumental sculpture, Play 201301 At once playful and ominous, the large- scale, leather-clad cathedral explores themes of pleasure and control, confronting attitudes toward culture, religion and sexuality.

Please note that all materials are provided and only pencil and paper may be used during the session.

Food and beverages are not permitted in the Gallery, with the exception of bottled water; we invite you to enjoy refreshments before or after the session at The Exhibitionist Bar on Level 5, HOTA Gallery.
