2B - Drawing Changes
OCTOBER 16-18 2020
online symposium
2020 has brought unprecedented health, environmental and human rights challenges that have required individuals to shift the way that we work, live, and interact in our daily lives. Our communities are confronting inequality and injustice, and are demanding social change. 2B: Drawing Changes will provide context in which to connect and converse about how our present moment is changing the ways that people make and share drawings, as well as drawing’s usefulness - as a tool for chronicling, confronting, conceiving and contributing to opportunities for change that are presented by our times, our fears, our hopes and our hearts.
We have postponed our scheduled 2020 symposium - Drawing Together, to be held at the State University of New York at New Paltz, until October 2021, dates tbc.
For our 2020 online symposium we are now working in collaboration with Indiana University Southeast, State University of New York at New Paltz, and The Big Draw.
We are excited about the opportunities a virtual symposium offers us – to be greener, to include participants from all around the world who have hitherto been unable to attend in person, to explore drawing at a distance and new possibilities of drawing together online.
The symposium will run over 3 days, with 4 hours live content per day. All live workshops and discussion forums will be recorded and available to ticket holders. As a participant you will also gain access to a bank of pre-recorded workshops and presentations, educational resources and archive materials from our previous symposia and professional development courses, 2011 – present.
Tickets on sale soon. Please e mail us at drawingandcognition@gmail.com to express interest / reserve a place.

'Drawing Rocks' brought together leading researchers, educators and drawing practitioners to continue our exploration of what drawing is, what it does, and how it does it. To this end, we shared drawing practices and research findings, and discussed the many roles of drawing. The 2 day event consisted of practical workshops, presentations of recent cognitive research relating to drawing practices and learning, and discussions.
