Drawing Act I worked alongside women from The Bridge and Southwark Women’s Space -two spaces that support the mental health and wellbeing of local women. Based within The Drawing Room, the group explored themes around exhaustion, labour and faith through film and textiles. The batik quilt made in collaboration with Angela Gioffre, Annie Birch, Bianca Aziz, Patricia Paula Simon, Silvie Livett, Sonia Foster and Zainab Yusuff is now on permanent display at The Bridge.
As an outcome of the project at The Drawing Room, this collaborative publication was made alongside Angela Gioffre, Annie Birch, Bianca Aziz, Patricia Paula Simon, Silvie Livett, Sonia Foster and Zainab Yusuff. The publication which spins around to reveal the underneath patterns through the bodies of the participants, is now part of the Drawing Room Library archive.
