OF COVID: Collective Trauma, 2024
Our second collaboration with Humble Arts Foundation
In 2020, COVID forever altered how we work, learn, communicate, collaborate, and perceive the value of life. Like so many major world events and catastrophes, it transformed how photographers record individual and collective traumas. You could say that all photography made since the outbreak was tangential to it. From imagery of masked protesters and doctors responding to a deluge of sick and dying patients to meditative images made on walks, it seemed like every photograph was made in conversation with the pandemic.
Three years later, as fallout continues to dust our lives, this book is a shared and global photographic response. The images are footnotes to our experience of both collective trauma and interconnectivity. They show artists using photography to mend, salve, process, and understand – to keep going...
