Artist Callout
Handshakes, hugs and house parties are back.
As restrictions almost wholly disappear for the first time in over two years, there is no better time to summarise our experiences of living through extreme public order restrictions, AKA ISO.
With the memories fresh in our minds, hindsight and a taste of that sweet, sweet NO RESTRICTIONS life. How and what will help us adapt and grow into the post world?
A shared experience of lockdowns and restrictions has been felt by every person globally. However, the state of Victoria saw some of the harshest and most lengthy lockdowns worldwide. A nasty hangover from social restriction still runs strong in many areas of the community and affects individuals differently.
This exhibition presents an opportunity for artists to comment and share insight on 2+ years of fluctuating restrictions, before it becomes a fleeting memory. Documenting personal and shared experiences of lockdown hindsight.
