TOO TIRED FOR 2020

Australia on fire, the impeachment of Donald Trump, tensions with Iran, the conviction of Harvey Weinstein, a global pandemic, quarantines, lock downs, hundreds of thousands of deaths, the murder of Black Americans at the hands of the police, Black Lives Still Matter, still no justice for Breonna Taylor, peaceful protests, rioting, police brutality, the Beirut explosion, hurricane devastation in the southern US, earthquakes in Puerto Rico, locust swarms in Africa and Asia, a dust storm in the southern US, unemployment numbers at an all-time high, wildfires on the west coast, economic collapse, businesses closing, and the most divisive presidential election the US has ever seen amongst reports of voter suppression.

Too Tired for 2020 surveys the state of a world darkened by unyielding catastrophes. It is a story of isolation, violence, and struggle - an account of humanity and our environment coming apart under pressure. The artists included in this exhibition share their experiences navigating a world of uncertainty. These are photos of seclusion, political unrest, and the heaviness of day-to-day life after 6 months of quarantine. The featured artists in this exhibition explore their own lives within the context of what can only be described as a time that is truly unprecedented in its heaviness. This exhibition brings together work that to me, holds an incredible historical significance.
