<i>out of isolation: artists respond to covid-19</i><br><h5>Lin Hsin Hsin</h5>

As the world continues to grapple with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, many unique tensions, fears and doubts about the future have arisen. out of isolation: artists respond to covid-19 brings together artists' creative, critical and personal responses on the significance of the pandemic to their respective localities and contexts—what kinds of inequalities and injustices have the crisis laid bare, and what changes does the world need? If the origin of the virus is bound in an ecological web, what forms of climate action and mutual aid are necessary, now more than ever? Written as the crisis plays out before us, the series aims to spark conversation about how we might move forward from here. 

The poem race & trace is IT inventor, artist, poet and composer Lin Hsin Hsin's second contribution to the series. Read her first, time passes by, slow, and find out more about Lin Hsin Hsin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lin_Hsin_Hsin.

This poem has been reproduced in its original format from the artist. Special thanks to Adele Tan.
