Workshops • Luca Bosani

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

I specialise in gender studies, wearable art, sculpture, and performance. As an artist and educator, I regularly work with LGBTQI+ and neurodivergent groups and have experience collaborating with disabled artists. I am passionate about fashion and art in their most inclusive and egalitarian forms, with a particular focus on engaging with young people, children and marginalised communities. I have worked with established international institutions such as the V&A Museum and the Tate, and I have delivered lectures and workshops at leading universities such as Central Saint Martin and the Royal College of Art.
