ACT Zines calls for creative reflections on the uncertainty of the Covid-19 pandemic and the difficulties imposed by the National Lockdown.
Usually, an action is initiated with a motive. We eat to get something into our system; whether the action is due to boredom or hunger, the result is what matters – food in our stomachs. It seems like every action has a consequence…or does it? Is the lockdown making inactivity more significant? Are we evolving into ‘modern day cave humans’? I mean, when last have you worn your dress-up outfit?
Do you enjoy being engulfed by the virtual world, as you keep caressing your darling lover-phone all day long? Then, you think about the times you could take a walk through the park and sneak in a non-virtual kiss to that cutie before the ‘Covid Command Council’ declared holding hands and kissing illegal.
We would love to hear from you, our dear couch potato. (UNSUNG HERO)
