Stories of mutual aid and community
Isolating Together is a photographic project that showcases the faces and stories of Camden residents who came together during COVID lockdown. These stories were then developed into a large-scale outdoor exhibition in celebration of community. In reflecting individual stories back to the community through the exhibition, it gave residents something to be proud of and a space to reflect on what isolation and community support has meant.
The stories transformed spaces across Camden…
It took over billboards, buildings, local shop windows into an outdoor gallery to celebrate community and combat social isolation. The exhibition was entirely crowdfunded, and launched on the 22nd of March to mark one year since the first Covid-19 lockdown.
The exhibition was in partnership with No Ordinary Experience and Jack Arts
“The Isolating Together exhibition is a joyous celebration of Camden’s residents and the ways people have drawn strength from each other – overcoming physical distance – to endure the adversity of the Covid pandemic. These vibrant pictures of vibrant people – so different yet so united – will capture our hearts and minds and make us proud to be part of the beating heart of Camden.”
Anna Wright, Cabinet Member for Promoting Neighbourhoods and Communities, Camden Council
