Abstract

In this special issue in the Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Scholarship Art, Music, Poetry, in the Time of Social Distance, five contributors write about the impact of injustice and COVID-19 on their creative works and emergent challenges facing artists, composers, and writers. Providing a cultural and socio-political lens, the essays include images of video, poetry, and art to explore and expose our day to day lived experiences of the pandemic—from notions of isolation, normalcy, community, and distance to the larger impacts this has had on historically targeted groups.
