Art Work During a Pandemic began with an inquiry. It asked art workers to elaborate on exactly how their working conditions had changed during the pandemic. Are you receiving unemployment? Is it adequate? It also asked what changes art workers would like to see in their lives after the pandemic. Many of the answers received reflected fundamental changes that would impact the lives of all people, not just art workers. The responses overwhelmingly expressed a desire for a socially just world in which everyone would have the time and freedom to create and live an unalienated, fulfilling life.

The responses and artwork from many of the respondents were collected in this full color zine to help us understand where we are and where we could go.
