Time: 16:00 – 22:00
Where we draw influences what we draw and how our subjects are rendered.
Freedraw was an exercise about understanding how people gather different impressions of the same space, how they are sensitive to and take responsibility for their surroundings in various ways. The objective of this two-day workshop was simple — to draw freely in a new environment. The drawings on display in the garden depicted individual experiences of public space; the behaviour of passersby, colours, architecture, and cultural and social details, which are first visible in the space and then in the drawings. Each drawing differed in the perspective it offered, ranging from layered observations of Fontainhas, the Latin Quarter, and the Panjim market, to impressions of the space inspired by the artist’s unique view of their surroundings.
