About this Event
Drawing Our Worlds - A One-Day Drawing Symposium. Join us for this one-day symposium held in association with the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2025 exhibition at Trinity Buoy Wharf in London on Thursday 9 October from 11am to 5pm.
This symposium offers an inclusive and dynamic exploration of drawing – a celebration of drawing that combines hearing from drawing experts, artists and makers included in the exhibition, and others who have drawing at the heart of their practices - and will include active drawing sessions.
Drawing Our Worlds is convened by Anita Taylor and will include presentations and drawing sessions led by a host of inspiring contributors, including Chloe Briggs, Tania Kovats, Juliette Losq, Leena Nammari, Isabel Rock, Jake Spicer, Miranda Whall. More information about the line up will be added soon.
Following an introduction to the day, there will be two thematic discussion panels and a practical session based on themes associated to the 2025 exhibition, followed by a plenary discussion:
Session 1) Drawing our Worlds: past, present, future - presentations and discussions
Session 2) Drawing Our Worlds: in practice - practical drawing sessions led by presenters
Session 3) Drawing Our Worlds: personal, people, place - presentations and discussions
Drawing Our Worlds builds on the series of one-day symposia, devised by Drawing Correspondence (Chloe Briggs, Tania Kovats, Anita Taylor) for the Royal Museums Greenwich in 2023, Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2024, and The John Ruskin Prize 2025.
Please bring along your sketchbook, notebooks and dry drawing materials - and settle in for this immersive day exploring drawing in its many forms in the context of Trinity Buoy Wharf and the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2025 exhibition. There will be opportunity to visit the exhibition during the day.
The Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2025 is open to the public at Trinity Buoy Wharf from Thursday 9th - Sunday 19th October and is open daily from 11am to 6pm. Free entry.
A programme of events - including this symposium as well as drawing sessions and drawing discussions - accompany the exhibition and take place at Trinity Buoy Wharf and online. A special event for educators with Anita Taylor & Chloe Briggs follows on from this event and may be booked separately. There is a fully illustrated publication and education pack too. More information about the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2025 can be found here.
This symposium is kindly supported by the Trinity Buoy Wharf Trust, which enables us to subsidise the costs of participation for all attendees.
