COVID GLOSSARY

A year ago on March 17, 2020, the city of Mumbai was shut down due to the pandemic. A week later, the entire of India was put under a lockdown. In this one year, the virus pushed humanity in awkward directions: many existing values, concepts and practices have been altered and new ones have emerged.

The School of Environment and Architecture, Mumbai started collecting stories of these altered / newly emerged values, concepts and practices and called it COVID Glossary - a compilation of terms by which humanity was engaging with the virus and its times. Put together by 200 people from SEA over the past year, this glossary records the fragilities, the agilities, the resistance and other things that characterise us as human beings.

We invite you to participate in the inauguration of this work, and join the discussion. The event is free and open to everyone across the world.
