Recordist's notes

Not much has changed with Queen’s University Belfast, they have opened their front doors again for limited access to the Graduate School and Library. There is some staff working around the building, but not much other information that I would know of. Standing in front of the building you can see warning signs of keeping your distance and to protect yourself. The harsh winds throwing around a metal object in the distance generated this odd feeling that our return to the city is creating a lot more energy in the environment, that we are trying to find our place again amidst the aftermath of the lockdown. We are trying to figure out what this new normal will be like, will it clash or be embraced. – Georgios Varoutsos (https://georgiosvaroutsos.com/covid-19/)
