We Create Space @ Locke : Queer Expressions : Life drawing Workshop

A life drawing session with queer musicians who know how to turn a look. Jason & Andrea will host a session discussing the importance of self expression. Attendees will then have an opportunity to create bold works of art inspired by their unique and colourful style. This will be guided by the East London Strippers Collective, who regularly run life drawing classes and champion the rights of sex workers in East London.  This will all be accompanied by chilled performances as attendees get creative on the canvas.

Andrea Di Giovanni (He/She/They)

Andrea is an Italian singer-songwriter and pop musician based in London. Born into a strictly observant Catholic family, Andrea grew up in Rome as the middle child. His mother, who came from a large Italian family, installed in them the values of sticking together and protecting each other… something Andrea still holds dear. Struggling with life in the limelight, Andrea has at times experienced episodes of anxiety and depression but found solace and strength through her songwriting. Mixing the androgynous style often portrayed by designers like Alexander McQueen or Balenciaga, with black leather, weird shapes, and textures, he believes that the clothes you wear should be an extension of your soul.
