The Corner at Whitman Walker: Stay Alive to Life
The Corner, Whitman-Walker’s new cultural center, is presenting an art and discussion series offering reflections on the tumultuous events of the past year.
The centerpiece of the series “Stay Alive to Life! Resilience in the Time of COVID” is the display of 225 ink drawings created by Piotr Szyhalski between March and November of last year.
Grouped together as “COVID-19: Labor Camp Report,” these diaristic posters capture the emotional toll and political turbulence of the early part of the pandemic.
Also part of the exhibition is Austrian scholar Ines Doujak’s “Transmission: A Series of Five Podcasts on Disease and Pandemics in a Distorted World,” a podcast with British novelist John Barker.
