Life Drawing "Movement

Join us for “Movement,” a special life drawing event with model and performer Yu.

Yu, a model and performer, will bring dynamic poses that highlight movement and fluidity beyond gender boundaries. Whether you’re an experienced artist or just beginning, this event is open to all skill levels. We encourage all styles and will together experiment with ways to translate motion and emotion into line and form.

Basic art materials and paper are provided for newcomers. Come and enjoy an afternoon of POSE, DRAW, PLAY!

Date: 7/6 (Sun) 4-7pm, Get tickets in bio!

Theme: Expressive, movement, modern dance, fashion

This event is co-hosted by Owlpaca Studio, an artist community focused on life drawing, active in both Tokyo and Shanghai.

Ghosts of Tomorrow

Japan has been facing economic stagnation, population decline, and over-urbanization for years — problems that seem to have no clear solution. Today, it is often regarded as a nation slipping into obsolescence. But what if Japan isn’t a symbol of the past, rather a glimpse of the future, and we have yet to realize it?
