When the Music’s Over
We’ve had balcony concerts. Livestreams. Pots and pans banging. And clapping. (So much clapping). But we continue to ask: what next?
What happens when the music stops, but the surveillance doesn’t? When bands return to stadiums, but emergency powers don’t return to the statute books? When the ‘new normal’ becomes the same old scope creep? When beaches reopen, but migrant worker dorms don’t?
When the pandemic is over, what happens next?
