Communal Open Shared Drawing- project

Since January 2021 every Tuesday between 10-11am, PS² has organised Communal Open Shared Drawing sessions on Zoom, each time led by a different artist. What started with Alastair MacLennan as an idea alongside the right to create project during lockdown project, Communal Drawing is now a thriving and much loved session of about 15-30 participants of all ages and abilities.
This project will show a broad selection of drawings by the participants produced during the last 6 months together with a programme of drawing workshops and performative drawing sessions between 17-19 September open and free for everyone interested.

The weekly drawing sessions are still running and open for everyone who would like to participate. Just email info@pssquared.org to get the Zoom link.

Thursday 09 September, 6pm:
Alastair MacLennan and Sandra Corrigan Breathnach will be making a live performative drawing ‘III’

This dual drawing performance will be a coming together and combine the live creation of three duo drawings within a performance that encapsulates a shared energy through mark making.

Please note that this performance will be roughly 20 minutes in length.

17- 19 September
