TICKET: LIFE DRAWING DEC 5 WITH JULIUS

Life drawing is where artists have a chance to draw and practice observation skills in the presence of a live person/model. While traditional life drawing often involves nude models, we encourage our models to present themselves as their truest selves—whether that means wearing cultural regalia, an outfit they don’t feel safe wearing in public, gender-affirming clothing, or anything else that represents who they are. Artists will be tasked with mindfully observing and capturing the model's authenticity in their drawings.

For this session, we invite Julius! Julius (they/he), also known as Olive ThisTea, is a trans masculine performer and visual artist currently residing on the unceded lands of the Lekwungen, Songhees, and Esquimalt peoples (colonially Victoria, BC)... Originally from Haudenosaunee territory (colonially SW Ontario), he has travelled across the nation spreading art, kindness, and silliness where ever they land. He is currently a co-producer for the drag production group ThisTea Haus, which produce shows across Vancouver Island. His trans identity is the focal point of his art and he is wanting to this spread trans joy through new mediums.
