Following the GES 2021 Summit, a public-facing exhibition of student projects, we would like to continue to show the innovative projects that our ARTS 490 class has come up with throughout the Winter 2021 course on the global pandemic. You can access a recording of the live Summit event here.

PandemicProfiles
Group members Vanessa Geitz, Cassie Lai, Winky Yau and Yujin Chung have created an instagram account (@pandemicprofiles) to connect students during such an isolating time and encourage conversations about mental health.

They have also curated two playlists — one described as a playlist of music for studying, and the other playlist designed for study breaks, a mix of their favourite throwbacks and pop songs.
