Two Bay Area projects cast artists as culture keepers during Covid-19

By Feb 24, 2021 The year is 2121, one hundred years from today. A young San Francisco student, say an eighth grader, is given a school assignment to create a presentation capturing a significant moment in the city s history. He/she/they heads to the San Francisco Main Public Library and is directed to the City Archives. With a little encouragement the research topic is chosen: 2021: the COVID-19 Pandemic. Among the Archives collection of posters and flyers and other documents our student finds in the city s COVID -19 Time Capsule are four 100-year-old portfolios, both print and digitally produced by four specially selected artists who used their imaginations and skills to leave a record of what it was like to live during the COVID-19 crisis.
