Living together yet apart is an apt description of pandemic life. We are living in a truly historic moment—one that hasn’t happened since the outbreak of the Spanish Flu in 1918. The impact of social distancing has not only dramatically impacted global economies but also intimate relationships between families and friends. It has also affected how we celebrate milestones or memorialize losses in our lives. Our natural tendencies of wanting to gather, assemble, congregate, and in some cases even rally together demonstrates our need for solidarity, togetherness, and unity. It is through these gatherings that we share mundane and extraordinary experiences that instill empathy for each other. These shared experiences become building blocks to expanding our world view and provides opportunities for personal growth. proximity is a participatory art project that invites participants to submit digital snap shots of pandemic life on Instagram with the following hashtag #proximities2020 to demonstrate how we are connected, no matter how near or far we happen to be from each other. Snapshots can be photos of places, events, drawings, paintings, or other art work that captures an experience of pandemic life. Comments are also welcome when images are posted to Instagram!
