To celebrate the start of Pride Month, Art Academy is running a workshop that invites the LGBTQ+ community into a safe and supportive space. Through a combination of drawing, painting, and collage you will explore identities and bodies with trans non-binary artist, Usva Inei.
You will spend the morning experimenting with collage and drawing. In the afternoon, you will move to our print studio where you will continue to explore the theme through drypoint etching and monoprinting techniques.

About your tutor
Usva Inei is a queer, non-binary visual artist, mainly working with topics of lived experiences of immigration and queerness. They primarily work through mixed media installations, with painting and printmaking being central elements of their practice. Usva’s work is critical, political, and feminist, exploring such themes, as identity politics, acculturation, normative structures, and the role of physical space in directing behaviour. In addition to exhibiting their artwork, Usva regularly teaches both on academic and artistic courses, runs various art-based workshops with museums and charities, and is engaged in academic, art-based research. Usva is a Finnish-born Russian immigrant, currently based in London, UK.
The workshop will be a safe space, and we ask all participants to be respectful of each other, each others' identities, pronouns, and artwork when attending the workshop.
