Closing the Distance
2020 is an unprecedented experience for many of us. Our lives were suddenly put on hold. Despite restrictions like quarantine, people still found ways to close the distance.
This exhibit focuses mainly on the different ways that people have come together during the pandemic. In 2020, there were historic restrictions placed on social gatherings: large gatherings were banned and social distancing guidelines were put in place. Despite this, people have still managed to find ways to close the distance, whether it be physically or virtually. We decided to explore artwork exemplifying different kinds of human interaction—between healthcare workers, partners (love), elders, and strangers that find a common ground amid a social justice movement (street interactions).
