Life Drawing at Ajamu StudiosWe’ve had a blast working with iconic artist-photographer, curator, archivist and activist <a href="https://www.ajamu-studio.com" title="https://www.ajamu-studio.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ajamu X</a> to offer life drawing in his South London creative haven. And the fun continues...To highlight Ajamu's critical work around Black LGBTQIA+ experiences, we’ll be welcoming life models into his studio who accentuate and celebrate the thrust of that work and their own inimitable Queerness, regardless of sexuality.We should also mention that most of the models will be posing for the very first time, taking that first step in realising the creative and discursive power of their bodies.However, for the 2025 finale, we welcome pure experience to the life room - art nude and doyen of the Bare Life Drawing Community, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/janamodelling" title="https://www.instagram.com/janamodelling" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Jana Williams</a>.“I offer my raw, unfiltered self, actively escaping the limitations of the matrix. I pose to inspire the artist to join me in fully expressing their own authentic creative identity.“ Jana Williams---This is an inclusive, accessible drawing experience for all levels of ability, because, frankly, everyone can draw. Believe it!Boards, paper and materials are also very much included, but feel free to bring your own. Dry materials only can be used in the studio.Hosted by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/fromtheliferoom" title="https://www.instagram.com/fromtheliferoom" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Roy Joseph Butler</a>, with guidance on where to begin and how to continue.---<a href="https://www.packedlunch.org" title="https://www.packedlunch.org" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">A Packed Lunch Production</a>
