Curating COVID-19

In Semester 1 2020-21, MA Art Gallery and Museum Studies students undertook a group project that involved exploring the benefits, challenges, and issues of curating online exhibitions that talk about COVID-19 experiences.

The project involved the curation of six online exhibitions and prompted students to consider three key points: remote collaboration, the importance of wellbeing and structural inequalities during COVID and the lockdowns. 

You can find out more about the overall project on this critical reflective piece in the Cultural Practice Magazine.

You can find the six student exhibitions here: 

Group 1 - 'Rapid Resilience'

Group 2 - 'COVID and Culture @ Home: Maintaining Wellbeing through the Pandemic' 

Group 3 - 'Reflections: Representing Experiences of COVID-19'

Group 4 - 'The Everyday Extraordinary: How COVID-19 Transformed Our Lives'

Group 5 - 'Coping in the Age of Lockdown'

Group 6 - 'Everyone's Breaking the Rules: Protest and Activism in the Midst of the Pandemic'
