Waltz for the Old World

by Andrew Machum & Olivia Tharme

March 28th 2020, Westmount Presbyterian Church Session Meeting: closing prayer

by Lela Burt

“Amidst this fear though, I think we are all discovering a new depth to our lives. We put on hold our consumerist and productivity focused ways of living, and for once choose life. We choose family. We choose silence. We choose isolation, and in doing so we choose each other. This collective response and willingness to disrupt routine, habit, and our own personal schedules shows us the power of community. The power of unity. The power of love.” –March 22nd 2020 (partial journal entry) - Lela Burt

hey, sorry i missed your call

the coffee maker was dripping

its monotonous song

and i had to stare

blankly into the black space

wow, it’s been so long

since we talked, i meant

to get back to you, but

i went for a brisk walk

and i’ve become sooo lost

good to hear from you!

these are strange times

indeed, just yesterday

i forgot the faint stranger

in the mirror, how quaint

are you up?

i’ve been thinking...

i need some help

maybe?

we should definitely

grab a drink
have a smoke
hug for awhile
pick up dinner
see a movie
hit the beach

when this is all over

this is all over

all over

again

"This experience has taught me to appreciate every scene partner, audience member, and barbershop. I will never take you for granted every again." - Jack Copland

Telephone

by Sydney Brooman and Martina Delisle

"Telephone is an intergenerational photo series that connects the separate, subjective, personal spaces of a mother and daughter living in different cities during the COVID-19 Pandemic."

Photography and Short Film by João Santos

"His work is autobiographical by nomadism, travel and drift. It is in a constant attempt to build new ways of seeing reality and the scenarios that are presented. It seeks to photograph what has been forgotten, rejected or left suspended. Feels particularly interested by everyday themes, the economic crisis, instability, uncertainty, moments and people who do not belong to history, the rejected ones, a kind of forgotten heroes."
