How does Recovery look like as we move through the ongoing effects of the pandemic?

Seventy people reflect on the emergent future while looking at the stress responses of COVID-19.   

Art in a Just Recovery is a local community-based art project that explores community care in the context of our ongoing pandemic recovery in Guelph, Ontario. Seventy people explored these ideas through art and storytelling over a series of online and in-person workshops facilitated by eight local artists. In addition, a research team walked along the process building knowledge on arts potential in community care.
