Pandemic Objects is an editorial project that reflects on objects that have taken on new meaning and purpose during the coronavirus outbreak. During times of pandemic, a host of everyday often-overlooked ‘objects’ (in the widest possible sense of the term) are suddenly charged with new urgency. Join Senior Curator Brendan Cormier for a discussion of this ongoing project, and how over the course of the last six months, objects from toilet paper to TikTok have taken on pivotal and changing roles in society.
