The story of the Mentorship Project is connected to BEING’s journey through the pandemic.
Originally designed as an in-person creative exchange, the project pivoted to examine what connection, creation and exhibition could look like in online spaces. This helped us discover contemporary digital tools and platforms.
Over the course of 2020, artist Becky Bair, Marika Smart, Christine Hammond, Gillian King, Henry Hong, Jake Riseborough, Hasina Kamanzi, Analisa Kiskis and Mike Hinchliff built relationships over zoom and supported one another in creating art at home.
