In March of 2020, CoVid arrived and the world changed.
While our individual experiences were unique, we all found ourselves suddenly thrust into a new reality. We were forced to adapt quickly. To dig deep as we figured out who we needed to be in the midst of confusing and often contradictory guidance.
For some, it was a time of forced isolation. For others, forced service.
For some, the world slowed down. For others, it sped up.
For all of us, it was a time of great uncertainty.
The profound and permanent ways the pandemic affected us were barely acknowledged– publicly or collectively.
We were expected to get over it, get on with it, get back to normal. But trying to go back to pre-CoVid time is impossible at best and harmful at worst.
If we face the ways the pandemic changed us, we can learn what we’re capable of and who we've become. We can discover our strengths, greet our vulnerabilities with compassion, and move forward with intention.
This project is an invitation to pause and take stock of who we were at that pivotal time.
To discover what we lost and what we learned. To acknowledge our grief and our pain. To honor our contributions and sacrifices. To celebrate our creativity and courage.
