COVID-19: end date unknown A Chronicle in collages

Description (Dublin Core)

I have created collages for several years now, but living in lockdown as of March 17, 2020 gave this creative outlet a whole new importance in my life.

It started as a bit of lark, when a new colleague and I shared with each other that we both had creative outlets. I shared my first COVID-19 collage with her, she shared the painting she had made, and that simple act gave me the impetus to continue using this creative outlet as a way of thinking about my experience of life in lockdown.

I learned of your digital archive via an interview on CBC radio’s The Current, and I wrote about it (and similar “witnessing” projects) on my blog (link to blog is live in the attached pdf).

I have ten pieces in this “end-date unknown” series; I produced none in May due to a family health crisis, since happily resolved. I returned to it in June, producing what is at the moment the last, though likely not the final, entry.

Living in lockdown,
with hope,

Collages, with some text. I created the collages myself and compiled the pdf file
