Workshops • Luca Bosani

Workshops, Community Projects, Short Courses and Lectures - (2018-ongoing)

I specialise in gender studies, mental health, wearable art, sculpture and performance. As an artist and educator, I regularly work with LGBTQI+ and neurodivergent communities and have experience collaborating with disabled artists. I am passionate about exploring art, fashion, design and wellbeing through inclusive, accessible and equitable approaches, with a particular focus on engaging young people, children and marginalised communities. My practice encompasses education, participation and collaboration, and I have worked with established international institutions including the V&A and Tate. I have delivered lectures and workshops at leading institutions such as Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Art, and have collaborated with local authorities including Wandsworth Council and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
