"Essential, yet not deserving. Useful, yet expendable." In this episode, Dr. Sara Baumann and Dr. Jessica Burke discuss the use of art to address isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Patricia Documet participated in the virtual art gallery and reads her poem "I want to see the sunshine" aloud, which was written to capture her lived experience during the pandemic. They talk about how to define art and the need for artistic mediums as a coping mechanism. This episode references the article titled "Creating Community During COVID-19: A Virtual Art Gallery to Address Social Isolation During a Pandemic" by Sara E. Baumann, PhD, MPH and Jessica G.
