Curators’ statement:
Bruised, but never beaten. Lonely, but not alone. “Standing, Still” represents strength and unity in times of struggle. This exhibition strives to capture both the societal standstill caused by the pandemic and the resiliency of communities, who have emerged still standing after their experiences. Eleven artists explore the topic of COVID-19 through first-person narratives and creative expression. Selected quotes from each artist accompany their work on the wall, creating a united narrative of individual stories.
“Standing, Still” is co-curated by Danielle New and Hanna Corneliussen, emerging museum professionals and students at the University of Washington Museology graduate program. “Standing, Still” uses the documented link between storytelling and empathy to promote mutual understanding and compassion for others.
The Outside In Gallery is MoNA’s Education Gallery, which is dedicated to the inclusion of those outside of the museum. It is on the second floor.
