Teachers’ CPDL Workshop: Leonardo Drew
Wed 2 Jul 2025, 5-7pm

A group of adults stand in a room looking at posters on a wall.

Free, booking required.

Primary and secondary school teachers from all subjects are invited to join our twilight workshop led by artist Yolanda Shields.

The evening will feature hands-on activities, reflective discussions, and a guided tour of the Leonardo Drew exhibition with curator Lily Tonge. Drew’s practice will serve as a springboard for exploring identity and inclusion in the classroom.

Come to engage with the exhibition, connect with fellow educators, and leave with fresh ideas, inspiration, and practical tools for your teaching.

ABOUT LEONARDO DREW

Leonardo Drew’s works have been shown nationally and internationally, and are included in numerous public and private collections. Public institutions include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los AngelesThe Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington DC; and Tate, London, among others. Drew also collaborated with Merce Cunningham on the production of  “Ground Level Overlay”.  New York Times art critic Roberta Smith describes his large reliefs as pocked, splintered, seemingly burned here, bristling there, unexpectedly delicate elsewhere. An endless catastrophe seen from above. The energies intimated in these works are beyond human control, bigger than all of us”.  Drew currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York and San Antonio, Texas.
