Event description

Connect and unwind with a casual still-life drawing session, where surrounded by art and various found objects, you are prompted to consider how your identities and journeys are shaped through the objects around and within.

As we move throughout life, how do the objects you hold move with you?

You will be drawing inspiration from artworks in the University of Queensland's Art Collection including Hiromi Tango’s “Insanity Magnet #7”, 2009 and Katthy Cavaliere’s “Nest 1”, 2010. These artworks are currently on display as part of I, myself, in-between in the Collection Study Room. Both artists use objects to explore stories of migrations, movements and transitions of identity, place and culture.

This is a free event held in the Alumni Friends of UQ Collection Study Room. Please meet in the foyer ahead of the event start time. Spaces are limited so register today to secure your spot. People of all skill levels welcome! All equipment will be provided.

UQ Art Museum is a site for progressive and contemporary creative inquiry. Our work speaks to the distinct context of the Art Museum’s place within the University. We aim to connect each visitor with new ideas in creative practice, and with learning in its many forms.

We collect and exhibit progressive works of art, which stimulate dialogue and debate. We’re committed to opening up dialogue with the faculties, research institutes and centres of the University, and to place education at the core of our activities.

Through our programs we hope to inspire, learn with and connect to our communities both inside and outside the University. We invite you to join one of our events on site to experience a new way to connect with art and ideas.

The University of Queensland (UQ) acknowledges the Traditional Owners and their custodianship of the lands on which UQ operates. We pay our respects to their Ancestors and their descendants, who continue cultural and spiritual connections to Country. We recognise their valuable contributions to Australian and global society.
