Children and other critters

The kids of the Yarra Ranges have had an interesting time this year! And our pets have been enjoying having us at home.

Music and movement

Original compositions, funky dance moves and singalongs – here are some videos full of joy and reflection from the community.

Signs of the times

During COVID-19, a lot of social distancing signs and health measures have popped up throughout the Yarra Ranges.

Getting crafty

During lockdown, a lot of community members have returned to arts and crafts, and picked up new and old hobbies.

Words and stories

Read short stories, poems, haikus and memoirs from the community.

Staying apart, together

Team Zoom calls, remote learning and FaceTime sessions – spending time together, virtually.

The great outdoors

From local walks to the backyard or pot plants – everyone has been enjoying every bit of nature they can find.

Just for fun

Silly costumes, fun face masks and more.

My COVID story

Recorded interviews with members of the Yarra Ranges community, about life during COVID-19.

Still Life is a collection of moments and stories that express what life is like for community members during COVID-19. From photos of family reunions to videos of empty streets, view a gallery of submissions from the Yarra Ranges community. 

Our submissions capture authentic lived experiences from this period of change, from unexpected hope to times of hardship. We will post contributions here and on the Yarra Ranges Regional Museum Facebook page. Share your experience by adding #stilllifeyarraranges to your image caption, or use it in the search bar to check out what others have shared.
