Join artist Jamie Atherton for an illustrated conversation and workshop exploring queer domestic space.

Open to artists, makers, writers, performers – anyone interested in discovering ways that home relates to their practice.

The Weather in the Window responds to Mike Silva’s De La Warr exhibition by inviting participants to examine the objects, people and circumstances that contribute to our understandings of home. We’ll journey through a range of painting, photography, and film from the past five decades, reflecting on representations of the domestic in relation to our own experiences. Along with informal discussion, we’ll make drawings together as a process to think about our ideas.

No drawing expertise required, and materials will be provided. Participants are invited to provide a photo of a detail from their home ahead of the workshop that can be shared with the group, alongside other prompts, to encourage conversation.
