Health guidelines require us to practice physical distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. But practising social solidarity is just as important as we try to create a world that is more equal than we one we've left behind. That was the inspiration for this ink and paper linocut: PHYSICAL DISTANCING, SOCIAL SOLIDARITY. You can download a high quality image of the linocut and stick it up in your home, window, car or office.
In the interests of social solidarity, help me raise funds for Gift of the Givers Foundation in South Africa by donating via this page. Gift of the Givers has been doing amazing work since 1992. COVID-19 exacerbates existing inequalities in South Africa. During the COVID-19 crisis, Gift of the Givers are assisting with protective and medical equipment for healthcare workers, as well as food parcels and other support for marginalised people in South Africa. Further details on their website.
