Covidiary.net, 2020.
Covidiary was conceived in quarantine. We had been reading, writing, performing and talking together every week since late January when Covid-19 forced us out of our classroom and into our homes, our networks, our masks. Our planned project of producing individual chapbooks went away too.
Instead, we began to think and feel through the ‘social distancing,’ writing from the corners of our shelter, pondering views we never asked for. We agreed to keep writing. Desire persists. Proximity is glitched and touch computed. Domesticity is rewritten, and also NOT. We keep writing, and we will continue to. Covidiary will update weekly.
Covidiary.net is designed, built, and curated and managed editorially by Emma Huerta Flores

Emma Huerta Flores is a trans femme artist from Inglewood, CA; 1st generation with parents from Juchipila/Xochipillan and Guadalajara, Mexico. They currently reside in the East Bay. Their transdisciplinary practice often melds performance, writing, ritual, theater, drag, and installation to express the simultaneity of realities in their own lived experience, and the experiences of family, and their community. In other words, their practice takes on a hybridization of form and materials to tell stories, attempting to create visual, sonic, and physical experiences which place the viewers in a new world.
