Khoj hosted a workshop from 21st to 23rd October in partnership with the Digital Narratives Studio and the School of Journalism & Communication at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. This workshop explored the technological shifts experienced during the management of the Covid-19 pandemic, profoundly altering how we come together as groups, collectives, communities, and people. The workshop unpacked these shifts to understand how pandemic conditions persist long after the biological pandemic has been managed.
