DrawTogether Strangers is a global portrait project connecting strangers through the simple act of looking and drawing, two people at a time. It was begun by the artist Wendy MacNaughton. Here is her description:
We live in a fractured world, endlessly divided by class, race, gender, sexuality, politics, religion and on and on... One of the saddest consequences of this? Frustrated, fearful, sometimes just lost in our own worlds, we look away. We don’t see each other anymore.
Luckily there exists a sophisticated tool to help us pay attention and connect with people we might otherwise avoid or ignore. It’s called a pen. A simple drawing exercise can rewire our brains into SEEING one another again. All it takes is 60 seconds, some paper and pens, and two strangers.
This is the first such event in Bordentown City and it will be taking place during the city's 3rd annual Pride Parade.
Come celebrate being human and self-acceptance in a fun and creative way!
