In general, historical events are engraved in our collective memory through music, iconic images from films and photographs. Since last spring we find ourselves in a unique moment in history. We all felt it, but it was not always visible. It is precisely this special moment in time that calls for an artistic interpretation.

Uittenbogaart captured the impact of the corona virus on public space. This resulted in a collection of unusual and exceptional photographs. Sometimes you will recognize the location where the picture was taken, but more often the emphasis is on feelings and emotions.
The Hague hosts more presentations about the city in times of corona. In the Affiche Galerij for example you can visit the exhibition Stay Sane Stay Safe; and The Hague Historic Museum collects objects and stories of citizens. This Corona Collection is growing day by day; you can find a sneak-preview online (click on the title).
The exhibition Capturing Corona. The lockdown in photos is a collaboration between Stroom Den Haag, The Hague Historic Museum and Haags Gemeentearchief (Municipal Archives) where the visual material will become part of the collection.
Special thanks to Stichting Atrium, the Mondriaan Fund and The City of The Hague.
