The 2023 Thinking through Drawing symposium

Drawing Ground Drawing practices to support Earth
Friday 29th September – Sunday 1st October 2023

PLEASE KEEP THESE DATES FREE – tickets available soon

THE CALL FOR TTD 2023:

We invite workshop and presentation proposals that engage drawing as fertile ground for research, reflection and advocacy for the environment. We encourage creative interpretations and approaches.  All submissions are welcome and will be considered.  Are you interested in running a live drawing workshop in your locality? Do you want to record a drawing workshop that you or another person run? Do you have a Drawer you would like to interview? Do you want to make a presentation – a research paper or another? Sticking with our successful hybrid model, the symposium will encompass local in-person workshops, as well as online workshops, presentations, and discussion forums. In-person workshops will be streamed live when possible, and recorded. 

Please send an initial 100-word proposal to brewdrawing@gmail.com by May 15th 2023. Please include your website and/or relevant social media links.

We look forward to hearing from you!The TtD Boardthinkingthroughdrawing.org
