“When I left my apartment today, I saw an empty street. No cars, no pedestrians. At such moments, Kyiv seems like a city that has yet to be inhabited—a city without a present, with only a past and a future.”

I stand in solidarity with Ukrainian civil society organisations who have come together to create the #KyivDeclaration, calling on the international community to respond to six urgent appeals.

@JLog0s Sympathies to you Jess and VCA on such loss, yet it must be a great legacy that'll stay; wishing resilience and positivity going ahead.

As Covid-19 is gradually departing, a good time for a vintage/historical perspective on pandemics interpreted through messages within media& ideology structures. A film made in July in the @MMorganart home film studio. https://t.co/gW86mHPpFb

Home is not a less valid artistic stage and world of immersive art experience, - as everything else, especially cultural venues, is closed #victorialockdown #creativearts #creativeoccupation

#shortfilm #isolationresponse as a play and exploration into the potential of artistic creativity during "stay home" measures. Home as island represented by hexagonal/honeycomb shape. Jennifer McElwee's 'Isolation Island' #creativeoccupation https://t.co/jKre6z9Zks

These #creativeoccupation #postcardseries had to address individual voice and #expression in #isolating times as that seems invisible under the objective, unifying, and simplifying perspective. Pictured: Ingrid Petterson's image&words and Daniela Bertol's journal.
