At the end of Week 8 of leading socially distanced lives, on this rain-drenched-and-too-tired Friday, Kremena and I offer you a song and a handful of portraits. “We Will Survive” is a promise offered to us all. “We Will Survive” insists we are going to make it. “We Will Survive” is part of 10 in 20: A Lexington Recording Project, written and performed by members of Lexington’s one and only March Madness Marching Band .* The portraits of March Madness Marching Band members span the epidemic. They are all surviving. . . –click this link to watch the video of “We Will Survive”– http://10in20.net/…/01/08/march-madness-marching-band/ . . #TogetherKY #TeamKentucky #WeWillSurvive *Music and lyrics by Tripp Bratton, Arte Bratton, and Gail Wynters. Audio Production by Duane Lundy at The Lexington Recording Company. Videography by John Buckman. Video Editing by Jennifer Miller.

Lexington in the Time of COVID-19 is an artwork about people practicing social distancing at a time of a deadly virus. And also offering kindness.

Kurt Gohde and Kremena Todorova capture photographs at the periphery of American culture, where drag queens, discarded couches, and abandoned motel signs exist.
