This event brings together Drawing Biennial 2021 artists Alvaro Barrington, Jade Montserrat, Hardeep Pandhal and Lindsay Seers, in conversation with Drawing Room co-director Kate Macfarlane
About
Themes explored by the artists in their practices and in their drawings for Drawing Biennial 2021 include the reparative function of art, its capacity to draw attention to inequality and injustices caused by racism, ageism and sexism, art as a call for action, and the celebration of every experience as a valuable experience.
In addition to drawing, the four artists work across a range of media including performance, writing, film, photography, animation, textiles and painting. Taking their contribution to the Biennial as a starting point, this conversation will tease out where drawing fits in, the important role it plays, how it intersects with other media and what drawing, or the activity of drawing, can do
