Pandemic Perspectives

Art in the Age of COVID
In times of crisis, we find ourselves turning to art and writing to help make sense of the world around us—to remind us that there is always hope, that words help bridge the gaps of isolation, and that we are never alone.

As a community, we felt inspired to chronicle this strange and uncertain time through what we do best: writing. —Spencer George
