Life in lockdown are photographs by people who lived through Victoria’s lockdowns during 2020 and 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic.

Participants responded to MGA’s callout for photographs that encapsulate individual experiences of life in these lockdowns.

Growing progressively throughout the course of the exhibition and resulting in an explosion of images across MGA’s Atrium Gallery walls, this exhibition documents the lived experiences of people in our community, providing a cultural record of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
