Covid Confessionals: A Rapid Response Public Intervention

Fall Conference Proceedings

Author(s): Rachel Dickey & Noushin Radnia

Covid Confessionals is a rapid response temporary installation intended to promote healthy communities in the midst of a global pandemic. Specifically, the installation acts as a public intervention which tries to support mental wellness during a time of distressing social isolation. It asks, how might a public design project provide a timely response to the COVID -19 pandemic and follow guidelines for physical distancing, while still providing relief from isolation? In a broader sense, the project is a case study for design as research which asks, what are the larger social, cultural, and political issues and what are the ways designers can address such issues?
