Title:
Keeping Dad Alive.
Description:
October 2020, during the coronavirus pandemic, this project was launched to tell the story of Richard’s resilience and of the family’s efforts to ease the psychic impact of his isolation during lockdown in a senior living residence. The conversations are described as “glimpses into what sustains us over a long life and an antidote to the tragedy of separation from our elders during this pandemic.”
