What does a pandemic look like? What has COVID-19 helped us, or made us, see? How has it changed our sense of what counts as true—or whose truth counts?
This innovative exhibition explores how people around the globe use images to tell their own pandemic stories—and to question and critique our changing world. At once joyful and devastating, funny, and tragic, the exhibition explores how images—making them, looking at them, thinking with them—can spark new ways of seeing ourselves, learning from others, claiming our voices, and creating meaningful change in the world.
Picturing the Pandemic was created by the Pandemic Journaling Project and Seeing Truth: Art, Science, Museums, and Making Knowledge. In each of our primary locations — Hartford, Providence, Heidelberg, and Mexico City — we’ve worked in close collaboration with local community partners.
We also have a traveling version of the exhibition, which visited Toronto last year. If you are interested in the possibility of bringing Picturing the Pandemic to your community, please let us know.
