A Space Between Us
A Space Between Us was a state-sponsored public art project that documented testimonies from residents in San Bernardino, CA during the pandemic. I was commissioned to make this work in collaboration with the community as part of a campaign to stop the spread of COVID-19. Through photography, audio, video and a printed zine, we were able to chronicle how people were faring during a time of social distance—surfacing the economic disparities which often determine public health.
Our public art project evolved into a community zine called The Space which features local artists addressing topics at the intersection of the environment, labor, and social justice. Approaching it’s 3rd year of circulation, it is now run by and for the community with grants from local partners.
