On the physical and digital possibilities of public space in a world transformed by COVID-19

Featuring the works of nearly 40 artists, designers and writers, this publication surveys the formation of community and perceptions of the public amid COVID-19, exploring new communal digital spaces produced in response to physical isolation. Themes explored include: liminal public spaces as sites of community; body politics as markers of citizenship; dualisms of place and space; codes of community, care and intimacy in the digital sphere: and the spatial blending of public spaces in private arenas.
