Students who have lived on campus during the Covid-19 crisis are invited to take part in a new Lancaster Arts project.

Send in your film, photography and other content that expresses how you feel and what you have learned.

Making Frames, which is a Breathing Space project, involves creating a series of short films about the experience of living on campus through the Covid-19 crisis.

Two Lancaster artists, Jonny Randle and Josh Cannon, will work with material you create and send to make the films.

The team has refined the project and its questions with students who have experienced lockdown on campus.

They would now like to invite every student who has experienced lockdown on campus to submit their thoughts and ideas in response to the questions below.

You will also find how to share your responses and other important information below.

They're interested in all kinds of content about your experience - films, photos, artwork, sound recordings, text etc.

They want to know what you have learned from your experiences that you would like to share with others.

Questions for you to consider and respond to

Feel free to respond to just one or as many as you like.

If there are questions you feel should be asked that are not here, tell the organisers and send a response to your own question.

• What have you noticed on campus that is new or you hadn't experienced prior to lockdown?
• What is your daily routine like since lockdown?
• Are there any rituals that you do every day?
• What has been an unexpected discovery for you during lockdown?
• What have you discovered about yourself or your relationships?
• Have you found new places you wouldn't have otherwise?
• Did you notice a difference in the way you moved and your movement around campus?
• Has it changed how you engage with the world beyond campus and how you relate to the news and information you receive?
• How do you feel about social distancing? Did you or people you know distance/isolate more than you expected to, or needed to?
• Did you miss social interaction? What limited interaction and what could the digital not provide?
• If you were to send a short message to next year’s students, what would it be?
• What would you like to share with each other before you leave?
