Awaken your intuition through the soul-soothing practice of ‘Drawing Meditation', a guided creative journey of processes to open the mind and unwind.

Led by interdisciplinary artist Rose-Marie Luk, this workshop invites you to explore drawing meditation, a freeing practice of forming fluid shapes through continuous line drawing to enter a meditative flow state, and interpreting abstract forms by tapping into the subconscious.

The two hour workshop includes:

- Guided meditation, breathwork, visualisation, and body awareness

- Automatic drawing and continuous line exercises using graphite, charcoal, or ink

- Experimental mark-making inspired by surrealist practices

- Candle wax divination (carromancy) and interpretation of abstract forms

- Reflective writing and stream of consciousness exercises

✨Drawing Meditation will take place on Thursday 18 June at 6:30pm.

A limited number of tickets are available free of charge for residents of Tower Hamlets. These places have been lovingly created with support from Tower Hamlets Council.

Join us this full moon for Plant Gazing with Joseph Walsh, a unique opportunity to connect with plant allies and set personal intentions for the days ahead.

Immerse yourself in the IMT Gallery space, subtly smudged with mugwort to encourage chi flow. A curated selection of plants will be available for drawing and painting, accompanied by prompts and guidance on the techniques of plant gazing and observation.

We'll take a moment to reconnect to our bodies and the living world through meditation, and a serene Lemon Balm tea ceremony, grounding ourselves in the present moment.

🌱 Plant Gazing will take place on Saturday 30 May from 6-8pm.

Space is limited. Follow the link below to find out more and book a place.

For the second workshop in the ‘Museum of Connection’ series, artists Georgia Clemson and Lina Ivanova invite participants to slow down and reflect on how we move through the world, and how our movements connect us to others.

Together, participants will explore movement slowly and consciously, offering a pause from the fast pace of deadlines, to-do lists, and everyday routines. Through guided activities and group collaboration, gestures and shared poses will be transformed into cyanotype prints, an experimental photographic process that uses light and shadow to create vivid blue images.

As a participant, you will also have the opportunity to contribute your work to the Museum’s growing archive, a living monument to community created through shared time, attention, and collaboration.

🎟️ ‘The Museum of Connection’ will take place on Saturday 9 May at 3pm.

Space is limited. Follow the link below to book your place.

Explore new forms of connection through movement, guided creative exercises, meditation and experimental camera-less photography.

‘Unwriting the Artist’s Statement’ is a focused, playful online workshop centred on conversation, making, and discovering your own voice.

The session invites you to abscond from International Art English and respond directly to your work. Moving away from the critical language often used to address contemporary art, the workshop proposes different protocols for speaking about your practice to the world.

Through a series of guided prompts, improvisation, and gentle exercises, participants will work with revision, association, and a deliberate quality of randomness to develop ways of using their own voice. The focus is on speaking through the work rather than separating language from practice.

The workshop is hosted by IMT Gallery and led by artist and educator Elle Reynolds, whose practice works through collaborative processes, storytelling, and material experimentation.

For makers, artists, writers, anti-writers, poets, curators at any stage of their practice, and anyone interested in finding alternative ways to speak about their work. It is especially useful if you are preparing portfolios, applications, or exhibitions, or if you simply want your language to feel more natural and connected to what you do.

🐦 Early Bird places are available until 29 March.�
Spaces are limited — the workshop takes place on Sunday 17 May, 3 - 5pm (BST).

Centred on Harri Harrison’s sculptural ‘Wands’ series in the exhibition ‘The House’, the ‘Gathering Wands’ workshop invites a shared evening of wandering, foraging and making.

The workshop begins with a twilight walk through Victoria Park, led by multimedia artist Harri Harrison. Moving along desire paths, the group will allow themselves to wander off the obvious routes, gathering found natural materials along the way. These paths offer a subtle, gentle form of resistance, a space for slower attention and observation.

Returning to the gallery, we will gather our foraged materials and create our own wands using a combination of carving and binding techniques. The session concludes with a guided meditation and meditative drawing exercise. Together we will explore what it means to hold found natural materials, noticing how our focus shifts between objects, ourselves, and the connections they hold.

‘Gathering Wands’ will take place on Saturday 18 April from 6:30 - 8:30pm. Space is limited. Follow the link below to find out more and book your place.

Seeing Art With The Whole Body
Movement Workshop with Claire Loussouarn
Tuesday 24 March, 7 - 9pm

In dialogue with the group exhibition ‘The House’ at IMT Gallery, ‘Seeing Art With The Whole Body’ is a movement workshop that invites participants to explore how to listen and receive an artist's artwork and world through the three-dimensionality of our sensory bodies, moving away from an ocular-centred understanding of engaging with art.

Led by movement artist and somatic practitioner Claire Loussouarn, the workshop asks: how can we engage the whole range of our sensory machine when we come into contact with art and, in doing so, reclaim the full ability of our bodies to feel and express ourselves in response?

As well as exploring different ways of entering the artworks through movement and spatial awareness, we will attend to how bodies cross thresholds between private and public space, between being unseen and being on display, between dwelling and exhibition.

No previous movement experience is required, just curiosity and a willingness to explore.

Space is limited — follow the link below for full workshop details

It features work that all, often through degrees of autobiography, speaks to some of the discordances of being at home: perhaps the anticipation of order amidst the everyday; or an expectation of comfort, often amidst insecurity or tension.

‘The House’ is curated by Lindsay Friend and Mark Rohtmaa-Jackson.
