Dreaming in Times of Corona – 2nd Wave

We continue to live with the Corona pandemic (and will probably do for a long time). As many countries around the world are still subject to increasing numbers of infections, others are entering or are in the midst of a second wave.

From March to May we conducted a series of interviews, 27 in total, to document some of experiences made with and during the pandemic in different places around the globe. We interviewed colleagues and friends from Brazil, Thailand, Kenia, Austria, the Netherlands and Germany (many of them in Germany) among other places.

The interviews tapped into this shared stream of feelings, thoughts and experiences. As the numbers increase again here in Germany and we have a second, soft lockdown, we think it is important to continue our inquiry of how we individually and collectively experience this time and what hopes and dreams for the future are emerging. 

The first 27 interviews are a great gift and we still go back from time to time to listen to the interviews. We are also in a process of editing the interviews into a even more immerse audio document with the aim to capture the experiences, hopes and dreams between March and May in this year. You can listen to a raw edited version here:

I was also interviewed for an inquiry into appreciative / generative journalism after publishing the interviews. You can listen to the audio feature here.

To pick up the thread and deepen the documentation of these times I want to invite you be part of the second wave of interviews.

I scheduled some time slots for interviews in the upcoming weeks and days and I would love to have you as a part of these interviews. Please go to my calendly page to pick a time that suits you best. You can also contact me directly if none of these time slot fit! I am very much looking forward to continue the conversations.
