Join us for a participatory event to accompany Man as Object: Reversing the Gaze (November 4–30) and try your hand at reversing the gaze. All artistic skill levels and non-artistic observers are welcome. A  male model will be drawn from the heightened vantage point of the audience.

The afternoon features a reprise of Chanel Matsunami Govreau’s performance “Hapa Bruthas,” an exploration of Hapa male and Asian male sexuality, brotherhood, and the effects of interracial dating in Asian American communities from a mixed-Asian woman’s perspective.

All drawings created by the audience will be exhibited on site for the event, then taken home by the artists. Please bring your own drawing supplies.
