Icons of patience

Icons of Patience is the first lockdown's NVS writing project that documents thoughts, feelings and activities of NVS members during the earlier stages of the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic.

The range of conflicts and contradictions captured so sensitively by NVS members is striking: isolation yet friendship; confusion yet clarity; perseverance yet frustration; fear yet courage; sadness yet humour.

Thank you to Jane Luzio and Jenny McGuigan who have supported this project every step of the way. You can read and download the booklet here.
