Pandemic Arts
Covid-19 shook our world, transforming life as we know it forever. While this ordeal has simultaneously distanced and bonded us, it has also changed and challenged social norms.

Pandemic Arts seeks to uncover these complex dimensions of the recent pandemic by analyzing the artwork it has generated.
