A free evening life drawing session at the National Gallery's Friday Lates, held in the Social Space of the Roden Centre for Creative Learning for adults 18+, with two sessions that evening and materials provided by Stabilo. It is run by 2B Or Not 2B Collective, a People of Colour collective that uplifts marginalised bodies and makes art accessible, offering informal sessions with music for all levels of ability. The drawing is inspired by 'Mr and Mrs Andrews', reimagining Gainsborough's famous painting in the collective's own way. Afterwards, visitors can see the painting in the free exhibition 'Yinka Shonibare and Thomas Gainsborough: A Conversation'.
