The lockdown period awakened a creative part of me, a passion for photography. During a lockdown 'exercise' walk with my husband, I saw this spot and tried to capture as much as possible of this beauty.
CV19 A Film by the Department of Government
Part of LSE Community Histories
Submitted by: Cheryl Schonhardt-Bailey
Date: May-August 2020
During Britain's first Covid lockdown in spring/early summer 2020, the Government Department launched a project to communicate some of the research that we were conducting on responses to Covid by various countries. Even as we were all working from home, we put together this film, which explores the emergency powers that governments were using to control the spread of coronavirus, and how the relationship between the people and their governments had fundamentally changed.
"CV-19: A Film by the Department of Government" highlights research being carried out into the impact and consequences of these changing relationships. The film explores the threat to liberal democratic norms, public support for an authoritarian government response, how governments are being held accountable, what the effects are on public transport and a new digital frontier for political campaigning.
As a measure of the interest in this film, the contributors held a roundtable discussion (over Zoom) in November 2020, and this is also available online. More broadly, the film has achieved remarkable success in film festival competitions. As of July 2021, and from international film festivals in 13 countries, the film has received 16 top awards (Best Short Documentary, Best Health Film, Best Edited Film, Best Web an New Media, etc), as well as 3 finalist positions, 2 semi-finalist positions, 13 official selections and 2 honorable mentions.

Location: At home in Kathmandu, Nepal
The Himalayas have been a significant part of my parents lives. They are not mountain climbers or geologists; they were simply lucky enough to have seen the mountains in all their glory without even leaving Kathmandu. Before the early 2000s, any person in Kathmandu could peep out their window and see the Himalayan mountains: snow-peaked and awe-inspiring. However, in my lifetime, I do not remember ever witnessing such magnificence from my home - the mountains were never visible as they were constantly shrouded in smog.
Then, in May 2020, Nepal went into lockdown. My parents and I were unable to meet my grandparents, who required our support. We were all reckoning with the pandemic's impact on Nepal and the wider world.
Yet, as the pollution levels drastically decreased, I was finally able to experience the beauty etched into the minds of my parents. The mountains surrounded me with all their splendor. Needless to say, a photo cannot capture the grandeur of the Himalayas. However, this photo serves as a reminder of their beauty, which inspired me in times of adversity.

NHS/Key Workers graffiti mural near LSE campus
Part of LSE Community Histories
Submitted by: Sarah Jewett
Date: 30 May 2020
Location: Sainsbury's (now closed), 71 High Holborn
I was walking for exercise around London from Rosebery Hall towards LSE in late May and was struck by this graffiti mural by Bowen and Blackmore (London street artists) on the boarded up Sainsbury's close to campus. It marked a point in the pandemic in which many sought to highlight the importance of key workers just about two months after the lockdown began and restrictions were soon to be eased up a bit. The woman in the photo was one of very few people I came across.

Location: At home in Australia
This photo was taken by my husband after we relocated to Australia and will always remind me of the challenge of writing during Covid. Due to home-schooling and nurseries being closed from time to time, pushing ahead with writing projects was often done in the company of children...who were not always entirely respectful of the tools of the research trade!

20th October First Day at LSE after finishing my quarantine period. It has been a long awaited dream to study at LSE and somehow I have managed to make it. The picture is a testimony of my happiness, and I hope and I'm sure, the days I spend here would be as fulfilling as my first.

Location: On the way to campus from Bankside House [LSE halls of residence]
I was on the way to school with a few friends from Bankside; it was one of the first in person classes we had. Having just arrived in London and as international students coming from different places, we were eager to retain everything we see in the city in our minds. Autumn is slightly chilly and the streets were rather empty because of the pandemic, but it was a unique memory that felt strangely cozy and poetic amongst the chaos happening elsewhere in the backdrop.
