Art in the Time of COVID
In our first panel discussion, we spoke with three creatives—textile artist and writer Crystal C. Mercer, artist Kat Wilson, and author Elle Nash—about their output during quarantine over the last year and how it helped them cope. You can follow Crystal on Instagram @ccmercertoo or @mercertextilemercantile, and her new book, From Cotton to Silk: The Magic of Black Hair, is available for preorder now. Follow Kat on Instagram @katwilsonartist to keep up with her #quarantinehabitat project. Elle can be found on Twitter + Instagram @saderotica, and her new short story collection, Nudes, is set to debut later this year.
Then, we chat with Amber Lindley and Zak Heald about how they managed to safely produce films at Farm Studios (@farmstudiosnwa on IG) during the COVID-19 lockdown.
