IN CONVERSATION with ZORAWAR SIDHU & ROB SWAINSTON
Saturday, 27 July 2024 | 2:30 PM
544 VT ROUTE 106, READING, VT 05062
New York-based artists Zorawar Sidhu and Rob Swainston in conversation about their exhibition, Doomscrolling, currently on view.
An addictive compulsion, doomscrolling is described as the act of spending an unintentionally excessive amount of time actively seeking out and reading negative or depressing news online. In this series of 18 woodblock prints, Sidhu and Swainston culled imagery from the mainstream media to depict 18 moments between 24 May 2020 and 6 January 2021. The date of each work is tied to now-iconic images and specific events, and altogether form a portrait of the United States during the time of Covid, Black Lives Matter protests, the events leading up to the 2020 election and the infamous day of the insurrection at the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C.

The vision of the RWWCRF is to promote healthy, resilient and caring communities by providing responsive support to residents of Reading and West Windsor who are experiencing serious disruption or challenges to daily life. By marshalling and coordinating the resources of multiple organizations and services, the RWWCRF hopes to reduce barriers to seeking and receiving help. Support domains include, but are not limited to, housing and transport, food security, financial support, physical and mental health, social spiritual connections and child care/senior care.
