Short Film Shows How Artists With Down Syndrome Adapted Their Work During COVID-19
A U.K.-based organization that supports artists with Down syndrome has released a new film exploring the lives of artists during the COVID-19 quarantine. “Artists in Lockdown” was created by filmmaker Chris Kenward for advocacy group Heart & Sold, and features 15 visual artists representing seven countries, exploring how their art survived and even thrived through the lockdown. “Coping with lockdown could have been a real challenge for our artists, but we saw instead that it became a time when their creativity shone out — while the world closed down, they escaped into their art,” Kenward told the York Express.
