JOSEPH COTGRAVE CASTING WORKSHOP
24 JULY 2019 AT 14.00–16.00
Join us for a creative workshop led by Liverpool-based artist Joseph Cotgrave
Get hands-on as you cast replicas of ARV medication – used to suppress the HIV virus – into sweets and pin badges. Join the discussion about HIV in contemporary society, and the stigma that comes with a HIV diagnosis.
This workshop highlights important themes, which were prevalent in Keith Haring’s work.
BIOGRAPHY
