Description

Local historians weekly "Back Issues" article in the Manawatū Standard. In 2020, the prospect of large numbers of citizens catching Covid-19 and dying as a result drove the government to mandate a nationwide lockdown to halt the spreading of the virus. Five years later, Te Manawa Museum is capturing the pandemic in a different way; gathering objects that symbolise life in lockdown. The objects aim to show how Manawatū residents adapted to exceptional circumstances, traversing the social world without being physically in it.
