When the COVID-19 pandemic exploded in March 2020, photographer Jamie Harmon set out to document the unique moment by taking portraits of Memphians in their homes. Now, the Memphis Quarantine project is a massive new photography exhibition at the Crosstown Arts gallery.
I spoke with Harmon about his work, his history in Memphis, and the weight of bearing witness to history for WKNO-TV. “In Conversation With Jamie Harmon” will air on April 8, 2022 — but since that’s the same weekend the exhibit will be closing, WKNO has made the full interview available on its YouTube channel. You can watch the entire interview below, and check out the exhibit for free inside Crosstown Concourse.
