A collection of exhibitions curated by POW at The Margate School, based on the theme of Reclaim and Reconnect. 

ADONIS

ADONIS is an exhibition aiming to reclaim the art space and reverse the gaze - an opportunity for the objects of male voyeurism to become the voyeurs. The exhibition consists of exclusively women & trans artists depicting the male nude. Where male artists are usually the ones depicting naked and / or sexualised women and queer folk, the goal of ADONIS is to switch this role and the power of the gaze

To go alongside the POW! Thanet ADONIS exhibition taking place at The Margate School on the 4th-8th of March, curator Mary-Ann Stuart is hosting a life drawing session at Margate Arts Club for women, non-binary and AFAB people to take part in and draw the male form from life. A loose, light-hearted and fun session for people of all abilities, from complete beginners to

professionals. This is in no way a serious or formal art lesson, but a relaxed session to have fun and explore.

BRING YOUR OWN MATERIALS - There are no easels or drawing boards so a hard-back sketchbook is recommended
