From March to October 2020 GRAIN commissioned and supported photographers to make new work in response to the Covid- 19 pandemic, lockdown and new laws around social distancing.   The commissioning and bursary programme was supported by Arts Council England and National Lottery Players and Birmingham City Council.

7 photographers made new work in Birmingham responding to the unprecedented, uncertain and disturbing time of the pandemic, the affects of lockdown on communities and individuals at work and at home.

We are excited to share the work of; Jaskirt Boora, Andrew Roberts, Barnaby Kent, Chris Neophytou, Joanna Fursman, Olivier Jamin and Yas Lime.
