Challenge: Visual Story on Impact of Coronavirus
Our world is in lockdown. The systems that we have set around us to function as individuals and as a society are disrupted. We are forced to make changes to every aspect of our lives, both personal and social. This condition is creating situations never imagined before.
We are witnessing many “once in a lifetime” experiences. We can describe these situations from various viewpoints. They may be unusual from their functional/social/economic aspects. We may observe a wide spectrum of emotions, such as disappointment from the abrupt changes, anxiety because of uncertainty, bonding between close family members, pride in humanitarian gestures, and our collective emotions as countrymen and as a humanity. Some situations may be interpreted as funny, some puzzling, a few opportunistic and so on...
Share some of these stories with the world.
