Carpenter “During my first post-lockdown massage we had the requisite chit chat about our lockdown experi- ences. He gushed: ‘Oh man. It was so great. Every day I woke up, drank coffee, read, rode my bike…’ This did sound pretty great. But it was nothing like my own, anxiety-ridden ordeal. Had I done the lockdown wrong?” 1 In Next Time There’s a Pandemic, artist Vivek Shraya reflects on how she might have approached 2020 and the covid-19 pandemic differently, and how challenging and changing pervasive expressions, attitudes, and behaviours might transform our experiences of life in—and after—the pandemic. -
