UAL Black History Month: BLACCC Resistance Salon

Join us for a special life drawing session led by 2B Or Not 2B Collective, a POC-run group based in London dedicated to reimagining life drawing spaces.

Their work centers and uplifts marginalised bodies, celebrating POC, trans, and disabled identities, while creating a supportive and inclusive environment for artists of all levels.

This event offers a chance to draw, reflect, and connect within a space that challenges and expands traditional approaches to life drawing.

There will be guidance throughout the session to help those who are feeling stuck or uninspired, perfect for everyone from the absolute beginner to the seasoned artist.

Tools will be provided but feel welcome to bring your own.

BLACCC Resistance Salon is the first BLK Art Collective event founded and organised by Huguette Tchiapi and Dionne Elizabeth.
