Safe

A Together in Art Pocket Exhibition curated by Anne Ryan

As COVID-19 spreads silently over the Earth, scientists and front-line medical workers have become the focus of our trust. They represent our greatest hopes of beating this disease. We look to them to make us safe, to keep us out of harm's way.

This Pocket Exhibition pays tribute to nurses, doctors and those on the medical front-line of the pandemic.

Anne Ryan is curator of Australian art at the Art Gallery of New South Wales
