Isa Ho Donation

Isa Ho, photographer, filmmaker and former resident of Westbeth, donates cloth masks and safety glasses.

Now living in Taiwan, Isa reached out to Westbeth to ask what she could do to help her former neighbors. A few weeks later, a box containing 100 packages of masks and safety glasses was delivered. About 40 of the individually packed masks were labelled with the names of of the friends she had made here.

During her stay at Westbeth, under the sponsorship of the Asian Cultural Council, she filmed interviews with many of the residents, and photographed many more in their studios. Her project when completed will be an invaluable record of the lives of artists at Westbeth.

Here is her current website ISA HO

We at Westbeth deeply appreciate her kind and generous gesture.
