Exhibition 1st-5th July 2026
Jamie Zubairi uses portraiture to explore personality, expression and place, portraying Thamesmead residents in this exhibition of oversized charcoal on paper drawings accompanied by the soundscape of collaged interviews of residents of Thamesmead. Included in this exhibition are the portraits created by the participants of the portrait drawing workshops that Zooby held over the duration of the commission. A selection of these works will be reproduced for the Thamesmead Festival, 8th August 2026.
Jamie Zubairi (or Zooby as he is known) is a Bow Artist and Thamesmead resident of 8 years. Alongside his drawing practise, running Thamesmead Life Drawing, he is an actor, playwright, photographer, poet and creative facilitator with All Good Dreamers.
