As part of a drawing workshop held inside the exhibition Soul Witness, artist Laur Pontak, member of the ENCORE project, invites participants to draw nude models rarely seen in traditional life-drawing practice, in dialogue with Ali Cherri's sculptures.
Drawings: Laur Pontak
The workshop invites participants to adopt a perspective that seeks not to normalise what it sees, but to embrace the diversity of bodies and the ways we inhabit them. Guided by the artist's instructions and advice, participants will develop their drawing practice within a supportive, stimulating environment open to everyone, regardless of ability.
*ENCORE is a project launched in Brussels by Moussa Cheniguel. It stems from the observation that, while many organisations work in the field of disability, few spaces exist where people can simply live their lives rather than merely be cared for. ENCORE aims to help people with disabilities rediscover agency through their bodies, shift perceptions of disability, and bring visibility to presences that are too often overlooked.
