Cruskits and Crows

This project grew out of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodologically responding to the pandemic, it utilised an episodic approach to creative practice where the pressures of the pandemic – caring for children while working and making – shaped not only the production of the work but also its content. Released as an audio essay across social media the work documents how the pandemic attuned us to the micro-mobilities of everyday life including the more-than -human and their interaction with urban-based apartment dwellers, the movement of babies learning to crawl and walk and the movement of ideas through social media, university education and through memory and longing. Research Significance and Contribution: This work was extensively engaged with online, viewed over 400 times across Facebook, Vimeo, Padlet, and Instagram. The work was created during the Walking Library and the Museum of Loss and Memory online residency program, 2021.<p></p>
