Photos and stories from Together Apart: Life in Lockdown, a book by Altona photographer Jude van Daalen and journalist Belinda Jackson, will be displayed in two exhibitions.
The pair live next door to each other and together they documented 60 stories of Hobsons Bay residents during Melbourne’s first lockdown.
“Like so many others, I felt more isolated than I’d ever felt before,” van Daalen said.
“I needed connection, and taking these photographs was a way to reach into our community and bring people together.”
