Overcoming Loneliness and Connecting Immigrants during and after the Pandemic
Wei, Yiwen
Art Education, v75 n3 p45-47 2022
This article focuses on the challenges of isolation that marginalized immigrant communities have faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Feelings of isolation, powerlessness, and disenfranchisement are not new to immigrants (Perreira et al., 2006; Zhou, 1997). However, the pandemic, which caused school closures, interrupted family routines, and restricted in-person socialization, has intensified the negative impacts of these experiences on historically disadvantaged communities (Meyer, 2020), including impoverished immigrant families (Clark et al., 2020; Ekwonye et al., 2021). As an immigrant from Taiwan, I hope to raise attention to the challenges faced by immigrants. Furthermore, I suggest that art education can cultivate understanding among diverse cultural groups and enhance the well-being of immigrants.
