Invisible Project: Curated by Parker Blain
Curator Parker Blain—a trans photographer living with lupus, fibromyalgia, anxiety and depression—reached out to a range of LGBTQIA+ contemporaries to share a visual diary exploring their experiences of self-isolation in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
He explains: “When you watch the news and hear warnings aimed at people with compromised immune systems, most people think of the elderly, not the young person whose immune system is in overdrive and inflamed. I wanted people to understand that pre-COVID, the majority of us couldn’t leave the house anyway. This is our ongoing lived reality.”
