In a time where we’re all living online, craving any form of meaningful together-ness, it’s sometimes hard to find content that satisfies. That’s where contemporary art gallery Unit London offers reprieve. With their innovative online gallery show, “Drawn Together,” founders Joe Kennedy and Jonny Burt hope to both raise funds for COVID-19 relief while also showing support from the artistic community in this time of crisis. Originally slated for viewing from June 4-12, the gallery postponed the opening until June 11th, in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, following the murder of George Floyd and numerous others and worldwide protests against police brutality. They will spend the week supporting the BLM movement online through their digital platforms, as well as donating to the Minnesota Freedom Fund and Campaign Zero, all while spreading information on additional resources and donation pages.
