Life drawing class for artists of all genders, backgrounds and levels of ability, 18+. Draw strippers and sex workers as they perform their usual club routines, in a different context; from the strip club to the art gallery.
Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.
