Gender Expansive Figure Drawing: Bodies as Maps of Joy is a series of gender-expansive figure drawing workshops centering trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming QTBIPOC bodies. Each 3-hour session features live models, drawing instruction, and dialogue around representation, body autonomy, and radical visibility. Models share personal stories while participants engage in reflective drawing. The series culminates in a community zine and gallery walk. Rooted in collective witnessing and queer joy, this project reclaims figure drawing as a space of affirmation, community-building, and creative resistance outside traditional, cis-normative art spaces.
