Silver Lining- creativity brought on by the pandemic

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

I’ve sent a catalog of the exhibit

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

I found myself doing “creative” things that I hadn’t had time for previously and so I asked Staten Island artists what they had created during the pandemic. For some it was a reaction to the politics of the time. For others it was an opportunity to try new media.

Who originally created this object? (If you created this object, such as photo, then put "self" here.)
