Mapping Workshop with Jeremy Smith
Menu
Jeremy Smith will lead a mapping workshop at .M Contemporary as part of our Young Collectors Initiative program.
Smith’s practice and working PhD thesis explores ‘Narrative Cartography’, using Cartography techniques to map the LGBTQI community, in particular the changing gay male body post the introduction of PrEP (the anti-retroviral HIV drug). Smith’s research subverts conventions of cartography to create subjective psycho-geographic maps of psychological and imagined spaces such as identity, the subconscious and sexuality.This hands-on session offers a unique opportunity to engage with his thought-provoking approach to mapping.
As there are limited places available, we encourage you to secure your spot promptly.
Jeremy W. Smith is a Sydney-based queer artist, curator, and researcher whose practice weaves together drawing, cartography, and queer historiography to illuminate hidden narratives and reimagine how identity is mapped across time, space, body, and mind. He is currently completing a PhD in Fine Arts at UNSW Art & Design, where his research project, Drawing Queer Counter-Cartography, unfolds as a series of large-scale, hand-drawn maps that construct a profoundly personal and politically charged visual archive of queer life in Sydney. Smith is also one of the inaugural curators at Qtopia Sydney, Australia’s first LGBTQIA+ museum, and a founding member and curator at DrawSpace, Sydney’s first gallery dedicated to drawing.
