ABOUT THE PROJECT

‘People of Lombardia’ came into existence after the COVID 19 lockdown in Bergamo, Italy.  The initial goal was to ask people to share their photographs of what they were doing during isolation. ‘We wanted to connect people at this moment, to join together in this shared experience, to let people know…you are not alone.’

Somewhere along the way, we began to interview our subjects in addition to collecting photographs. Taken together, these photographs and stories are becoming the subject of a vibrant blog. We hope to continue our work with our community, every voice is important. Our goal for People of Lombardia: is to give these voices a platform, everyone should be heard. Our world has changed, let us unveil how we are changing with it.
