Welcome to co-creating during COVID

March 2020, banner art by Jillian Ackert

In a time of fear and isolation, we are witnessing a burst of everyday brilliance and resilience. We invite you to share, collect, and remember all the creative and resistant ways we are surviving uncertainty and quarantine. 

​

What is Co-Creating during COVID?

This is an explicitly intergenerational forum to share what we create during isolation: from art and music, to recipes and knitting, to academic writing and lego sculptures - basically anything that is helping us through this time. We will highlight creativity, joy, love, the mundane, fear, anxiety, and weirdness – from creative kids to enterprising elders. 

​

Who is this for?

This forum is for the wonderful humans of Nogojiwanong: artists, organizers, activists, students, and academics.

​

What can I send you?
We will post things from anywhere and in just about any format. Just send a photo, link, paragraph, scan, document, video - whatever you have created in this time - to agingactivisms@gmail.com. No need to add to your to-do-list, just send us what you’re already doing! 

​

Anti-Oppressive Spirit

• We intend to centre the offerings of people who are likely most impacted right now, whether physically or mentally: children and the elderly, people with disabilities, the precariously employed and housed, and people who regularly navigate racism, transphobia and other forms of oppression within medical systems and elsewhere.

• We will not post anything racist, ageist, ableist, transphobic, etc.

• The forum is intended to be suitable to all ages (we will clearly identify any exceptions to this) 

• We have selected a simple, slow, stable web format, as opposed to a fast-paced social media platform, in hopes that it will be accessible to all.
