This exhibition marks five years since the Covid-19 pandemic, and the series of lockdowns that took place in the UK. When the first lockdown was announced, photographer Katrina Campbell, started photographing her neighbours on their doorsteps, out of a curiosity to find out how they were really getting on. She was surprised at how keen people were to share their stories, being remarkably open and candid about their hopes and fears.

At the time, the photographs and stories were shared on social media, and as the project grew, she was inundated by messages from people wanting to get involved. By September 2020, there were over 100 photographs and stories from the local area, covering Grange Park, Bush Hill Park, Palmers Green, Winchmore Hill, Southgate, Enfield and Edmonton. The full set was self-published in a book called ‘When we all stayed at home’ and it is a rich, honest, heartfelt and at times emotional record of a unique moment in our collective history.

We are fortune enough to work with Enfield-based photographer Katrina Campbell who takes photos of Journeys and Places events and projects.
