PROJECT INFO
Jocelyn R.C. started Here Then in October 2025, capturing the first eleven portraits for this series. After seeing them all together as a small collection, she felt compelled to continue – to what end? Still figuring that out.
By July 2026, just over sixty Here Then portraits had been captured and Jocelyn was awarded a grant by 4Culture to help support the following 18-24 months of ongoing work on this project. Jocelyn is targeting late 2027 for a debut exhibition in Seattle.
