Join us to celebrate how pandemic picture-making can spark new ways of claiming our voices, learning from others, and creating meaningful change in the world.
This innovative exhibition—a partnership between the Pandemic Journaling Project (PJP) and Seeing Truth: Art, Science, Museums, and Making Knowledge—will feature images created by people around the globe in telling their pandemic stories. At once devastating, joyful, funny, and tragic, the exhibition asks: 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?
In addition to the PJP images, the Hartford History Center will display a selection of images from our Hartford 2020 collection, a collection of photographs by Hartford based photographers Andy Hart, Jasmine Jones, and Ray Shaw and capture Hartford’s public sphere in 2020: protests, parks, buses, testing clinics, and outdoor performances.
Hartford Public Library’s history spans more than 235 years. We can trace its very beginnings to the Library Company, formally organized in 1774 by a few subscribers to purchase a "collection of useful and religious books". And now, the library is a national leader in redefining the urban public library in the 21st century as an innovative and stimulating place where people can learn and discover, explore their passions, and find a rich array of resources that contribute to a full life.
