THE COLOR OF COVID: documenting our collective pandemic experience in color

 

the Color of covid:

A collaborative social art documentary.
What if we attempted to tell our separate pandemic stories in color? Together?

question:

IF YOU WERE ASKED TO DESCRIBE YOUR ENTIRE PANDEMIC EXPERIENCE IN COLOR, WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE? AND WHY?
The work above represents 204 different people’s answers to the question. Their stories are pretty diverse. Check ‘em out!!


The work below represents the Pandemic as experienced by entire South Lakewood Elementary School community.
ALL students, staff & community members designed/painted their own Covid Color circle; and the project is permanently installed in the SLE library.

Project Goals:

  • To synthesize our pandemic experience - separately AND collectively.

  • To find out - what is actually happening to people - how are we all actually doing?

  • To obtain data from a diverse, critical mass of people.

  • To create a public art experience about a very public and also very private global moment.
