Despite the academic year having been incredibly difficult for our student newspaper The Beaver, the features team still met every week to share our ideas for articles and enjoy some time venting about how busy our week had been so far. Our last meeting felt bittersweet as some of our friends in the team were graduating soon without us having properly hang out in person all together. I still could not be prouder of our team effort. We made memories over Zoom that won't be easily forgotten.
These posters are based on the responses to a survey of children at a Primary School as part of the LSE Festival 2021. The children were asked for their experiences and feelings around COVID-19 and related restrictions and then turned into infographics by artist Becci Kenning.

I curated the community-focused Queer Chinese Art Festival with Jamie in August 2021. We hope to amplify the voices of emerging Chinese queer talents especially under the pressure of Covid-19. At the bottom right is the Art Festival poster. You can also see a photo of two women kissing in the street. This is me and my handsome girlfriend!

While everyone went out to enjoy the first snow day in London, I decided to stay in my bed and watch the snow fall outside my window. The photo captures the moment I was having breakfast and doing some readings.
The COVID-19 oral history interviews were recorded between May and December 2022, as part of the LSE COVID-19 archive project led by the Library. The interviews document the experiences of members of the LSE community, who were invited to share their memories of studying, working and socialising during the pandemic and to reflect on the impact which it has had on their lives.
