Live Sketching at MAP in Collaboration with Penciljam (4:00PM)
View art from a different perspective and rewrite the story! Join us for a sketching workshop at our permanent exhibition VISIBLE/INVISIBLE: Representation of Women in Art through the MAP Collection.
Each of the exhibition’s four sections explores how women’s lives have been portrayed, the spaces that they occupy and the challenges that women have faced in the Indian subcontinent.
This workshop will extend the ideas embodied in the exhibition through a unique creative activity, in which participants will visually create the many identities that constitute our ideas of the women in our lives, through overlaid layers of artwork.
To participate in this workshop, you will need the following easily available materials:
* A Black Gel Pen or Black Permanent Marker
* Oil Pastels or thick wax crayons
* A few sheets of translucent butter paper or tracing paper
* A Pad or clipboard to draw on

Penciljam started in 2009 as a small group of artists who gathered together to sketch from life. Over these past 15 years, Penciljam has conducted over 1000 on-location drawing events, and the Penciljam community have created tens of thousands of Artworks of their localities and cultural heritage.
Penciljam’s primary aim is to encourage Citizen Arts. We believe that the Visual Arts must be accessible to everyone. Our Community features people from all walks of life, and of all ages – bound by a mutual love for drawing. Penciljam is a project of The Nabachika Foundation.
