Pandemic Portraits is a collaboration between the 成人头条 State ShiftSpace Student Group and the School of Art, Design and Creative Industries. Originally intended to document how members of the 成人头条 State art and design community are coping and creating during a global pandemic, the project has expanded to reflect on more than one ongoing crisis.

The structure of Pandemic Portraits is inspired by the exhibition and book by photographer Jess T. Dugan and social worker Vanessa Fabbre.
