Photos and stories from Together Apart: Life in Lockdown, a book by Altona photographer Jude van Daalen and journalist Belinda Jackson, will be displayed in two exhibitions.
The pair live next door to each other and together they documented 60 stories of Hobsons Bay residents during Melbourne’s first lockdown.
“Like so many others, I felt more isolated than I’d ever felt before,” van Daalen said.
“I needed connection, and taking these photographs was a way to reach into our community and bring people together.”

Victoria’s fifth lockdown will end at 11.59 tonight but new settings will remain in place for at least two weeks.
Victoria’s COVID-19 commander Jeroen Weimar said there were 10 new COVID-19 cases recorded on Tuesday, bringing the total number of active cases to 188.
All 10 had been isolating.
Residents of the Ariele Apartment complex in Maribyrnong tomorrow end their 14-day quarantine after being exposed to Sydney removalists who spread the Delta variant and sparked the lockdown.
Mr Weimar said the trio who entered Victoria on July 8 would not be charged.
“Department of Health (DH) completed its investigation yesterday and [Victoria Police] reviewed the file yesterday and overnight and have confirmed that no further action will be taken,” he said.
