YOU HAD TO BE THERE,
A VIRTUAL GROUP EXHIBITION
2020
In all facets of daily life there have been adjustments across the world in how we interact with one and other during the unique year of 2020. There are troubling changes and fears arising, but with that comes a unique display of personal and group resilience. Our online exhibition You Had to be There, is a memory stamp of our collective effort to create an immersive moment out of the changing way art is displayed at this time in history.
Throughout the 20th century questions have been raised about the role that technology plays in our daily lives. Despite possible inhibitions concerning an increased dependence there is no question that interacting through the internet has been the safest way to stay in touch and in our case create together. This process has allowed ways of communicating and crafting
that were not before possible.
