MYTH, HACKS, AND RUMOURS
(2021)

published in: Research Catalogue
We at SEA believe that the pandemic has a granularity of meta, non-linear narratives that become useful in making sense of the relational complexities of the pandemic and society. Thus, we set out to collect stories of fears, joys, agilities, fragilities, friendships, networks, collectives, home, work, infrastructures, entrepreneurship, privileges, marginalizations, migrations, desperation, gender, equity, etc. The glossary as a method became useful to reflect on this granularity of experiences and account for slippages during these times. These spatio-temporal stories, when read together or as individual instances produce a new sense of the emergent contemporary. This framework also allows us to speculate on the kind of world we will inhabit once the storm has passed.
We draw on multiple readings to bring out the nuances and patterns of social life produced in a pandemic. This we hope would allow us to collectively reflect on the restructured ideas of the self, the collective, society, space, and time.
Individual micro-curated expositions are linked together for www.covidglossary.net in order to generate non-linear readings of the pandemic.

As the self became the field, the gaze was narrowed and began looking inwards into the physical confines of the house.

In some instances, with the excess of time, new hobbies and pastimes were picked up to escape the monotony of being locked in.
