After studies, I wanted to do an Internship and wanted to travel, but after two months corona hit. Since there was no physical gathering anymore. 
Online there were a few projects ‘L’appartement chez moi’, with Madame Butch.
 
 
She did a lot of live streaming with people from the community. It helped me to get out of the smoke of like a ‘family context’.
 
 
The second part of the pandemic / 2020. Eindhoven in The Netherlands wasn’t very strict or in a heavy lockdown, so I was able to move about and meet people.
 
 
I started looking for initiatives in Eindhoven, online, I did not found a lot.
 
I found ‘The Way(?)’, a feminist group. There is a new queer collective Queerhoven, which is created recently. 

I have the feeling Eindhoven is a kind of city where worth to mouth, small gathering happen through people knowing people etc. During corona this was not possible anymore.

pre-covid
 
random meetings
 
speak with people you don't necessarilly like, yet care about them
 
recognise people you see every now and then
 
is that the feeling of community?
 
 
right before pandemic hit, a person from community in Rotterdam committed suicide
 
so unable to organise something together, mourning together
 
not connected to the family, unablility to claim to the mourning
 
 
person close to Aay committed suicice right before second lockdown
 
 
ways of mourning together online??
 
 
as non-professionals, not able to take care of each other's mental health
 
when physiscal spaces disappear, it all comes down to each of us inter-personal habilities
 
very difficult, layer of guilt
 
we lost touvh of how a broader community is going
 
 
covid guilt is real!
 
should I do this or that, am I doing enough??
 
in the case of Queer Rotterdam, many meetings but not actions
 
 
agony of insustainability of queer spaces
 
that was the reason to start not found on-ephemere!
 
 
volunteer work usually not archiving
