Drawing Blood | Drawing the Body with Ryder Cooley an Every Woman Biennial X Leech House Collaboration
Come spend two hours drawing with us…drawing blood that is! Ryder Cooley’s bloodletting bio-performance art sets the stage for a unique sketching experience. Please note, this is real blood and if you are squeamish, this is not for you. Also note, that these leeches are pets, well-cared for, and well-fed, and not harmed in any way during this performance.
