- Description
- Naoko Wowsugi, a Humanities Truck fellow and studio art professor at American University, discusses how COVID has impacted her as an immigrant, an artist, and an educator. She shares how she experienced COVID a bit earlier than those in the US, since she was in Japan with family during the initial outbreak in Wuhan. She was worried the virus would impact her travel plans, but ultimately made it back to the US before travel bans went into place. Naoko talks about how COVID has cancelled or postponed the projects she was working on as an artist, including her project with the Humanities Truck as a fellow. She shares how she took in-person meetings with people for granted, and has had to adjust to replicating those interactions online. Naoko finds hope in the number of people who have come forward to help their communities and put their lives at risk to save others. She hopes we will reflect on issues of gentrification and displacement as a result of the virus, and learn about what is really essential to our lives and how those essential things should be shared equally. This video is part of the Humanities Truck's From Me To You: A Covid-19 Oral History Project. https://humanitiestruck.com/frommetoyou/
