An interactive exhibition held in May 2021, capturing a poignant moment in our collective lives. As we emerged from a year of living through the COVID-19 pandemic, we glimpsed the light at the end of the tunnel. However, the pandemic had taken away many familiar sights, sounds, and feelings we once took for granted.
This exhibition tackled the challenge of showcasing some of these losses. A captivating sound installation played familiar pre-pandemic sounds like a children's soccer game, a bustling coffee shop, and Canada Day fireworks. A photography exhibit displayed images of the lower half of people's faces, as masks had obscured our smiles. Attendees were invited to place cards with different smiles over their masks, reclaiming the joy of human expression. Another installation allowed visitors to paint their hands and touch them to a hanging sheet of paper, fostering a safe way to experience human contact that we had missed. "In Between: What Comes Next?" served as a powerful reflection on our shared experiences during a transformative period in history.
