A POIGNANT exhibition providing people the opportunity to pause and reflect on the coronavirus pandemic is being launched as part of a gallery’s tenth anniversary milestone. Firstsite, in Colchester, was approached by the North East Essex Clinical Commissioning Group last June to make a project which recorded what NHS staff went through during the pandemic. Working with a number of artists, including Alec Finlay and Roland Carline, key workers took part in a series of workshops to explore their experiences of the coronavirus outbreak and the subsequent effects it had on their lives.
