When the Sick Rule the World

Still in the shock of lockdown, our first event online congealed around two texts: When the Sick Rule the World by Dodie Bellamyand How to Have Promiscuity in an Epidemic. by Douglas Crimp. Writer Drew Zeiba presented a beautiful, original piece about being and desire in the first throes of the pandemic. Through his piece, we experienced a tentative, yet possible online intimacy.
