Portraits Untold explores and celebrates the diversity of our common humanity through a series of four live portrait sittings with high profile figures in well-known venues across the UK.
The project sees acclaimed disabled artist Tanya Raabe-Webber fuse digital and traditional drawing and painting techniques in an interactive live environment, inviting physical and online audiences to join in. The conversations between artist and sitter will explore how art and the artistic process is central to the representation, discussion and our thinking on cultural diversity and contemporary society.
Portraits Untold has been developed by artist Tanya Raabe-Webber in partnership with the host venues
Supported by Arts Council England.
