ARTS IN OUR BUBBLES

When I wrote my editorial last month, I had no idea that we would be thrust into another lockdown, curtailing many of the events that were set to happen in this city. Some have postponed or have been indefinitely cancelled, but others have stayed the course and will be able to go ahead when their time comes. 

Thanks to this nationwide order to stay in a proverbial bubble, I was seemingly provided with oodles of spare time, enough to present me with the perfect opportunity to catch up on some much-needed viewing, reading, and listening – all three at the same time if you count subtitles. It is, as usual, the arts we turn to when we need a distraction. 

Without further ado, I invite you into my bubble. Please sanitise your hands on the way in and make sure you use the contact tracer app.
