Qualitative Inquiry, Ahead of Print.
In this article, I explore how two research-creation projects helped me to process the stresses of the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown using a critical autoethnographic approach. Video editing weaves the two projects together, providing both a descriptive and abstract engagement with ideas about glitter as method and media making as a form of analysis. The article starts with Prompt #3 from the Massive Micro Sensemaking undertaking led by Annette Markham and Anne Harris in May and June, 2020, and is punctuated by the text and links to the videos produced by media artist Midi Onodera between April and July 2020.
