In early 2020, when COVID-19 first struck, St Giles began collecting the oral histories and photographs of people connected to it; an organisation forged from the 1937 polio pandemic, 85 years later working within a new pandemic, COVID-19.

As part of the project former staff, Board members, people living with a disability and supporters, were interviewed.

While art historian Bridget Sullivan Arkless gathered and transcribed all interviews, award-winning photographer, Scott Gelston, captured the individual portraits of each person.

Explore the stories and portraits of the Tasmanian St Giles community in Face Time.
