Pandemic Chronicles, Volume 1 <\/em>is a multidisciplinary, multimedia zine created in response to emergent cultural circumstances and the histories of social injustice that helped precipitate them. It is authored by the Pandemic Poetics Collective (Esther Belin, Titus Brooks Heagins, Mahogany L. Browne, Andr\u00e9 Leon Gray, Olmeca, ursula rucker, Jess X. Snow, and Chip Thomas, aka jetsonorama) and features additional work by Emory Douglas and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initiated by an invitation from Chip Thomas, this project brings together a diverse group of artists to collectively bear witness, in solidarity, to this unprecedented moment in our shared histories. Originally designed as a means for participating artists to collaboratively respond to how the current pandemic is disproportionately affecting their communities, Pandemic Chronicles, Volume 1<\/em><\/em> quickly blossomed into an opportunity for the participants to offer their combined creative strength to a growing, international uprising against white supremacy and state violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pandemic Chronicles, Volume 1<\/em><\/em> <\/em>is divided into four chapters: Response; Life Goes On . . . ; Loss; and Hope, Redemption, and Empowerment. These groupings braid a series of deeply situated, individual perspectives into one another, in the hope that readers will benefit from the ways the collective reflections overlap and diverge. The zine\u2019s DIY format is intended to encourage readers to form similar creative coalitions and to take direct, creative actions of their own in the name of a more just world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
