A graphic in pink, purple and yellow with an image of a classical statue (the god Hermaphroditus/e) from waist up, playing with their wavy hair. Around them, the text for the event sits in a funky 70s-ish font. It says the time and date as given in the post, and "trans and queer life drawing - loads of models - tunes - pencils and things" with a star burst saying "wow its free!". The Trans Liberation Cambridge logo marks the top corner.
A graphic with the same colour scheme and image. Text reads "book your space on the eventbrite! volunteer to model via the sign-up form! both are linked in our bio."
It absolutely blasted last time, so let's do it again! π¨
