How to live together

A collaborative work developed by myself and Salote Tawale during the COVID-19 Australia wide lockdown in 2020.

Presented as part of Don’t Let Yourself Go, Cement Fondu, 2020.

Curated by Megan Monte and Josephine Skinner.

Taking its title from a Roland Barthes series of lectures, How to Live Together documents how time passes in isolation for one Sydney household.

From their small apartment to the carwash, follow how Salote Tawale & Sidney McMahon maintain their social lives and relationships during the global pandemic and reflect with them on moments of disconnection and connection, silence and togetherness.
