National Gallery of Cayman launches “lockdown photography” exhibit
Loop
The National Gallery has announced the launch of a new online photography exhibition that explores the Cayman community’s experiences of lockdown, a reflection on how Cayman, individually and collectively, dealt with this unique moment in history.
Entitled “2020 Vision: A community’s experience of lockdown“, the exhibit was developed from a country-wide ‘Open Call’ for photographs in late 2020.
Forty-two photographers are featured in the exhibition and their images capture a “snapshot” of life in Cayman both during lockdown and as restrictions had begun to ease. It has been curated into three main themes: Family Time/Indoors, Nature and Outdoor Time and Community.
This exhibition is designed as an ongoing project and the gallery will continue to add to the online display as it receives more photographs and stories from the community.
Featured photographers include: Claire Birchall, Lennon Christian, Lisa Collins, Julie Corsetti, Ayana Dacres, Mariasol Danziger, Thaís de Souza, Ryan Carlo J. Dumaguing, Al Ebanks, Sheree Ebanks, Shane Nobee Edwards, Jim Gates, Svitlana Gilyun, Cassandra Greene, Francis Guevarra, Heather Holt, Christopher Humphries, Joanna Humphries, Maggie Jackson, Paige Jordison, Whippet McCallum, Destinie McField, David McGibbon, Bridget McPartland, Heather Meinen, Tiyen Miller, Phillippa Miller, Jenna Nicholson, Alysha Pearson, Lori Peterson, Kaiman Photo (Kris), Nikole Poirier, Graziela Portela, Rebecca Raige, Lisa Reid, Elizabeth Riley, Dione Scotland Rivero, Brandee Romanica, Simone Scott, Tricia Sybersma, Davina Valaydon, Michaela Walker, and Tony Walton.
The gallery invites the public to participate by sending stories and photos to project coordinator, Paige Jordison at assistantcurator@nationalgallery.org.ky
View 2020 Vision online until May 31.
