{"exhibit":{"title":"Singing Through Covid: Seniors and Church Music","description":"<h3>by Hannah Willmann<\/h3>\r\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/omeka.uottawa.ca\/intermission\/files\/original\/ec24751caa3017bbd736192ac6830692.jpg\" alt=\"Graph-like image with stained glass effect\" width=\"220\" height=\"197\" align=\"left\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>The Covid-19 pandemic dramatically shifted the ways in which we interact with the world around us. Within the space of only a few days almost every cultural institution, including churches, had to adapt to offering services solely via an online platform. In the ethnographic research project presented here, I seek to document the experiences of church-going seniors and how the pandemic influenced their relationship to their church community, their access to music and their comfort with using social media.<\/p>\r\n<p>The stories that arise paint a picture of resilience, adaptation, and the vital importance of singing and community. &nbsp;<\/p>","credits":"","featured":1,"public":1,"theme":"","theme_options":null,"slug":"singing-through-covid","added":"2020-11-26 15:35:26","modified":"2021-09-07 09:13:59","owner_id":16,"use_summary_page":1,"cover_image_file_id":84,"id":2},"item":{"item_type_id":null,"collection_id":null,"featured":0,"public":1,"added":"2020-12-10 10:53:55","modified":"2021-09-06 20:40:41","owner_id":16,"id":7}}
