Everyone knows we are swept up in a pandemic unprecedented in living memory. This crisis has spurred racial and class inequalities and crimes ranging from violence committed against Asian-Americans, the closing of the borders, life-threatening hazards in prisons and detention centers, and federal mismanagement that has led to ventilator and other supply shortages.
One of art's functions is to help us understand the challenges presented to us as a community. Since ancient times it has supported people in comprehending life's tragedies and difficulties. And right now, it is difficult to keep faith. We must both clearly confront the extreme risk that we are facing, and also come together as a community to grapple with the nature of this emergency and to support each other through it. For this reason, the Women's Center for Creative Work and host Yxta Maya Murray bring together three standout artists to present their art and talk about their responses to Covid-19 in their practice and in their lives.
