SUMMARY:Williamson Art Gallery & Museum: Williamson Art Gallery: The Covid 
 Chronicle
DESCRIPTION:The Covid Chronicle\nThursday 10th November – Saturday 17th
  December\nWilliamson Art Gallery\, Birkenhead\nThe Covid Chronicle was c
 onceived and curated by London artist Wendy Bliss\, and has been described
  as a ‘Bayeux Tapestry’ for the 21st century pandemic. It is a histor
 ic document in textiles &amp\; stitch\, and charts first-hand the experien
 ces of people during the pandemic itself. During lockdown Wendy set out to
  reach textile artists around the world through social media\, and was del
 ighted to received 140 incredible panels from 15 countries by the end of 2
 021. In 2022 Wendy set about curating the panels for shape and colour and\
 , with the help of sewing friends\, stitched and lined them into 35 metre-
 square blocks.\nThe Covid Chronicle is now on tour\, exhibiting in museums
  and galleries around the UK\, whilst a permanent home for the work is sou
 ght.\n“I have been overwhelmed by the response to this project\, and the
  beauty and poignancy of the pieces received. Spontaneous comments from th
 e artists demonstrate how curative the making process has been for them\, 
 and my hope it is will similarly help those who see it to process their ow
 n experiences through this amazing visual record.” – Wendy Bliss\, fou
 nder\n“Literally stitching my own piece to that of others seemed like a 
 perfect antidote to the disconnect I felt.” - Naomi Adams\, contributing
  artist
