The Decameron Collective
The Decameron Collective is a group of nine scholars and artists from Canada who have, since March of 2020, engaged in a weekly practice of collaborating, co-creating, and curating.
Projects:

Memory Eternal | Вічна Пам'ять (2023) is a VR world designed for Oculus. This work emerges in the wake of a global trauma, and expresses grieving at two scales – personal and collective. In the wake of crises, what do we want to remember and how? What futures should we imagine? How does care ground a wounded world?
Exhibitions: Electronic Literature Association Conference and Media Arts Festival, Coimbra, Portugal, July 12-15, 2023.

The Decameron 2.0
The Decameron 2.0 (2022) is an interactive explorable web-based world that takes its cue from Giovanni Boccaccio's medieval narrative set in Florence during the Black Plague. Featuring 100 co-created poetic thought experiments, it offers an audio, video, and textual living archive of life during the pandemic that centers women's experience.
