"Well, I first started responding by doing drawings in a notebook, which I have some examples [of] here. So I'll show that as I think it'll be helpful. So you can see this one is called 'sodis,' which is about social distancing and these figures in their bubbles. Everybody has to separate themselves from other people so that they don't get ill."

“…so I began to photograph out my window, which faces East on Lafayette Street. So I began to photograph Federal Express—this is from the fifth floor, so I'm looking down. I began a project, I'm not really sure whether it will become a full-fledged body of work, but, uh, I began to photograph out my window. I began to photograph food messengers, food delivery people, pedestrians, people wearing masks, people not wearing masks. And then, uh, after the killing of George Floyd, uh, I began to document the protests that would go up and down Lafayette Street and Grand Street and Center Street outside my window. So, for the last two-and-a-half months, I've been documenting what's been happening out my window, first with COVID and then with the, uh, protests around social justice…” —James Welling

"I teach in a very privileged place, and we were able to mail students supplies and the university sent computers and iPads to people who needed them. And, um, lingering behind all that, of course, is the great sense of like what the access to the technology and the resources means when it's not right at hand. And so one of the things that's laid bare is that kinds of access in which we all know, but it's being experienced on different fronts. The battlegrounds are different. The places where it's clearly seen are different. And I feel hyper aware of that..." —Matt Saunders
Matt Saunders was interviewed from his home in New York, New York on September 3rd, 2020, by Jacob Proctor for the Archives’ Pandemic Oral History Project.

“[T]hat kind of lightness lasted only for a little while, because of, like—of—you know, in the end of May and June, um, with the death of George Floyd and also, like, earlier in February, and, like, all of this, like, really unnecessary death and, like, violence and police brutality.

“They have been interlocking between just the health risks, the financial catastrophe, and, you know, a reckoning with, um, the need to revise practices in museums in response to the anti-racism movement. And, um, and understanding that the lack of capacity of museums right now is making the latter of those three terribly difficult. Um, I think it will be seen as a turning point in museum practice for a lot of reasons.” —Teresa Carbone

“Um, sometimes I feel that especially being a queer person of color, you become tokenized, right—and I think that we should definitely go beyond that and not do something that's to have this image of being diverse, right, because there's a lot more work that goes into it, but I mean, definitely think it's always going to be a battle. It has been a battle for the longest time, but I think if your heart is in the right place, you can definitely use your work as an artist to go against something that is bad, right, and as a sense of protest or as a sense of helping others just get through whatever they may be experiencing for sure. And it's just lending your voice to others is important.” —Jose Villalobos
Jose Villalobos was interviewed in San Antonio, Texas on August 19, 2020 by Josh T. Franco for the Smithsonian Institution Archives of American Art Pandemic Project.
