The Kyra Covid Capsule booklet, containing poems and artwork produced by members during the first pandemic lockdown, is to be part of the York Museum Trust’s Curating Covid project. The project to produce the booklet was the brainchild of Yvonne Copley, founder of Kyra Women’s Project who was recognised recently as an Ebor Community Hero for her management of Kyra during the pandemic. The 55 page booklet will become part of the background material for the YMT’s Curating Covid project, and available to researchers looking back on this unique period.
