Persevering, Preserving, and Sharing Our Mother

Abstract

Abstract:This article describes a pandemic bread-making project devised as part of a graduate-level Digital Storytelling course in the Communication Department at l’Université de Montréal. The relations between bread making and storytelling are analyzed through the framework of correspondence art, an art movement that emphasizes networking, collaboration, and modes of free circulation. The article will be of particular interest to educators in the fine arts, social sciences, and humanities who are seeking ways to encourage critical thinking about this global crisis and to provide opportunities for collaborative exchange among students. Readers are invited to participate in the project.
