“…Pride/Swell was also a project where we sought to engage in a multidisciplinary inquiry through an intersectional lens anchored in queering participatory visual approaches through the mail with 2SLGBTQ+ youth (Fenge, Jones and Read, 2010; Burkholder, Hamill and Thorpe, 2021). 2SLGBTQ+ young people were involved as producers as well as co-disseminators of the work through the development of a digital archive, https://prideswell.org, and the sharing of art pieces on social media (see also Burkholder and Thorpe, 2022), community screenings, exhibitions and public discussions. We see these practices as opportunities to bring a DIY ethos into methods of art production, exhibition and archiving in research for social change framework.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic posed a logistical problem to our normal ways of engaging in participatory visual research. Our in-person art, activism and archiving with 2SLGBTQ+ Atlantic Canadian youth pivoted to use distanced engagement strategies that met the demands of the pandemic. We sought to create networks of solidarity while we were apart. Monthly, over the course of a year, we mailed out themed packages of art supplies and directions to fifty-five 2SLGBTQ+ youth situated in the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador. Participants then created the artworks, photographed them and contextualised them through text. While the resulting co-curated digital archive includes multiple mediums, here we focus on the participants’ zines and dioramas for what they taught us about 2SLGBTQ+ youth’s identities, activism, beliefs, friends, home, family, fears, strengths and futures. The digital archive of our artwork deconstructs, explores and affirms identities and functions to build solidarity during a time of increased isolation. We argue that collaboratively building the digital archive was a feminist act of reclamation and a declaration of youth queer activism.

“…The researchers were forced to devise different ways of establishing a connection with their participants. Remote participatory methods, digital ethnography, instant messaging interviews, and video-call software became the primary methods and means of conducting research amidst the pandemic (Burkholder et al 2021;Hall et. al 2021;Polat 2022;Watson and Lupton 2022).…”

This photo essay examines the process of isolation during the first period of the COVID-19 pandemic based on the quarantine photos of a family from Belarus. It illustrates how the content and form of the collected images visualized the invisible markers of the pandemic and reflected various stages of isolation, transformations of the notion of home, and changes in family dynamics and routines. To collect the photographs, a weeklong remote participatory project was conducted. The findings of this project thus pointed to a direct correlation between photographs and changes in the social world and individuals’ lives brought about by the coronavirus outbreak.
