Pandemic Portraits is a collaboration between the Wichita State ShiftSpace Student Group and the School of Art, Design and Creative Industries. Originally intended to document how members of the Wichita 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 To Survive on This Shore by photographer Jess T. Dugan and social worker Vanessa Fabbre.
