We are witness to how structural inequity has exacerbated the effects of the pandemic including for people in poverty, for keyworkers, for women and for people of colour. Using the frame of the art world, this event queries whose body is cared for and whose is ignored? It will turn to the current visibility of long-term racial injustices and the momentum of the Black Lives Matter movement. It will ask how art practice and writing can foster care and healing, renewal and health in light of the pandemic.
