Palmers Green exhibition highlights the people and stories captured across Enfield during the Covid-19 lockdowns of 2020

Southgate residents Eme, Isaac, Isla and Ava photographed by Katrina Campbell in April 2020 for her project When We All Stayed At Home

A local photographer is putting on an exhibition of the portraits she captured during the pandemic.

Katrina Campbell published her book When We All Stayed At Home in 2021 after taking a series of photos of Enfield residents on their doorsteps during the Covid-19 lockdowns, while also telling their individual stories.

This September, Katrina is hosting a photography exhibition that documents the community’s experience of lockdown, through “simple portraits and candid tales” which are “as diverse as they are universal” and will transport visitors back to that unusual time in recent history.

The exhibition is taking place at Arbeit Studios in Green Lanes, Palmers Green, across two weekends this month on 20th/21st September and 27th/28th September, from 12pm-4pm.
