How Did You Survive? records the objects and personal rituals that helped people returning home after job loss adjust to a new life back home.
With the advent of covid 19 and the subsequent shutdown of many countries at the beginning of 2020, some Zimbabweans living and working outside the country found themselves suddenly unemployed and facing the hard decision of returning home as they could no longer afford to sustain themselves. How Did You Survive? records the objects and personal rituals that helped some of them survive the journey back home, being in government quarantine and finally adjusting to a new life back home. I photographed objects that they have kept that represent their stories and how they survived/are surviving.
