PANDEMIC

 

In 2020–2021, the We: media theater team created a series of video reports on socio-political topics that have become of special importance due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our team observed how the country suffered under fever caused not only by the new virus, but also by the dire polarization of society and avid ideological disputes between representatives of different social groups. When collecting a panorama of the new normalcy, we aimed to comprehensively investigate these complex realities,  to document the everyday life of paramedics and doctors from coronavirus wards, the activities of the anti-vaccination movement leaders and actions of the leading volunteers and vaccination centers, as well as  the lives of the most vulnerable segments of the population. We tried to read the pandemic not only as a biological or social phenomenon, but also as a media occurrence that reorders people and crafts new narratives and modern myths.
