A JOURNAL OF THE PLAGUE YEAR: AN ARCHIVE OF COVID19
Call for Submissions
Journal of the Plague Year: An Archive of CoVid19
The Visual Arts Program has initiated a partnership between Fordham University and Arizona State University (as well as other schools across the country) to contribute to a remarkable public archive of materials related to how the CoVid19 pandemic is affecting our lives on a local level. You can submit images, text, videos, tweets, Facebook posts, Instagram or Snapchat memes, screenshots of the news, emails — anything that speaks to the moment. Here is a link to a fuller description of the project. Here is a link to the archive’s submissions page.
In the “Your name, as the contributor” field, add Fordham University after your name. This will allow us to search for your submission on the back end of the website and publish it more quickly. At some point in the not-too-distant future, there will be a Fordham Featured Collection that contains all Fordham submissions in one place.
In the “Description” field, add #FordhamUniversity.
Important: At the end of the form, check “Publish my contribution on the web.” If you don’t check this box, your submission will remain private and not appear on the website.
To see what other Fordham students have submitted so far, search “Fordham University” in the search bar at the top of the home page. Please contact Artist in Residence Casey Ruble at caseyruble@gmail.com if you have any questions or need help making your submission.

彦島 Hikoshima
by Stephan Apicella-Hitchcock
About the Book
The images in this book are selected from a body of work made in the south of Japan over the past ten years. I first started photographing on the small island of Hikoshima in the city of Shimonoseki during visits to see my wife’s family. I wanted to walk where she had walked, gradually discovering a sense of place through observation. After my son was born I continued my walks; however, with him strapped to my chest, my camera in one hand, and a baby bottle in the other. My son and I now walk the island together and he often points out things to me that he thinks would make interesting images, in addition to making his own images with a point-and-shoot camera. It is enormous fun, as well as a means for him to connect to the place in which he was born.

About the Book
“History always constitutes the relation between a present and its past”
John Berger, “Ways Of Seeing”
“An individual is no match for history.”

These images were sourced from over 38,000 images that were rescued or recovered from used, low capacity compact flash memory cards. The cards were purchased online in 2017 and 2018.

About the Book
Painting and bleaching the surface of a 35mm film print of a Dutch/French thriller reveals another level of psychological complexity.

Urban Landscapes
Urban Landscapes at the The Lipani Gallery
November 1 – December 10, 2018
Reception: December 10, 5-7
Students in the Urban Film Video Production class present work that deals with the city as a confounding, inspiring and complicated place. Soundwalks open up urban space in acoustic ways, short films about specific locales and found footage reveries offer a visual counterpoint. A class trip to Chinatown is traced in a group project and in individual responses to the gathered footage. Work by Josh Castillon, Samantha D’Onofrio, Gus Fonte, Arber Hajdarmataj, Mary-Kate Magee, Caroline Martin, Sallie Murray, Dan Nasta, Gillian Nelson, Samantha Norman, Eliza Putnam, and Jessica Ruffini
