This show looks at ways that we can find to build meaningful interactions with one another. Jimmy Ferguson and Catherine Gubernick’s short film Between Strangers explores the delicate line between connection and isolation in modern urbanity. Loneliness expert and author of Un-Lonely Planet, Jillian Richardson shares some strategies she’s developed to foster community. Emily McAllister’s short and thoughtful documentary Wearable Tracy follows artist Lee Kim’s accidental social experiment to connect with fellow New Yorkers who might otherwise forever remain anonymous passersby. We know the COVID pandemic is far from over. We will continue to see this through with health (both mental and physical) at the forefront of our actions, and open discussions around loneliness are included in that.
