Coronavirus has had an unprecedented global impact. It’s hard to comprehend re-adjusting to life after the pandemic, and for many of us things will never be the same. The impact of Covid-19 has sent ripples through our communities. Loved ones have lost lives in the loneliest of circumstances, families are mourning in isolation, businesses have suffered immensely, and so many have lost their livelihoods and their security. It’s easy to see how the last weeks could be defined by profound pain and distress. We live in fear of the one thing that we took for granted-human interaction.And yet in times of trouble, humankind seems to have an unwavering ability to find moments of hope, community and generosity. We have embraced technology to connect with family and friends, we have volunteered to help the elderly and vulnerable and we have found our compassion. Never has this been reflected more than in the hordes of incredible key workers who continue to help us every single day. You are a testament of what it means to be selfless, and truly are the beating heart of our society. Though our updates of the pandemic may come from daily briefings and news bulletins, there are countless unique stories during this crisis, which are at risk of being lost amongst all the noise. As we try to navigate the current situation and cope with the uncertainty, we have also found outlets of creativity, of long forgotten talents, and passions we pushed aside due to a lack of time and space. Sharing our perspectives through creativity is imperative in a time like this; when we record current perspectives, it'll be a window into the minds of the people during the crisis in years and perhaps even decades to come. When all of this is a distant memory, 'Creativity in Crisis' will be able to provide insight and reflection on a time which impacted us all, and our micro stories can be a part of the macro story, to help provide deeply personal narratives and points of view in these ‘unprecedented’ times. All the proceeds from this anthology go to National Emergencies Trust whom have been entrusted during this pandemic to distil the goodwill to ‘where it is needed most, as quickly as possible’. ‘Creativity in Crisis’, is an anthology of a variety of perspectives on the pandemic - some thought provoking, some humorous and all incredibly unique.
