March 11, 2022, marks the 2-year anniversary of the WHO announcement of the COVID pandemic.
This is an audio-visual representation of lives lost to COVID-19 in BC and Ontario long-term care homes, March 2020-October 2021. Each dot and accompanying musical note mark a resident death – green for BC and orange for Ontario.
Seven wooden storytelling chairs sit at the heart of COVID in the House of Old exhibit, speaking to seven lives indelibly altered by the pandemic’s spread through long-term care. Each individual is represented by a chair standing in place for hundreds or thousands of Canadians who faced similar circumstances.
This project has been made possible by a Jack and Doris Shadbolt Fellowship in the Humanities from Simon Fraser University.
