The Nocturnists:

Stories from a Pandemic: Part II

Series Illustrations: Nazlia Jamalifard — *Series Illustrations:* *Nazlia Jamalifard*

Between March and May of 2020, we collected hundreds of audio diaries from healthcare workers about the COVID-19 pandemic, which were used to produce the audio documentary storytelling series, Stories from a Pandemic.

One year later, The Nocturnists released the second installment of Stories from a Pandemic, which explores what the murky, middle part of the pandemic has been like for healthcare workers. We’ll hear deeply personal missives from both inside and outside the hospital, contemplate the value of art and meaning-making during these times, explore healthcare workers’ subconscious through their dreams and nightmares, and more.

Stay safe out there.
