Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachael_House:
Rachael House is a British multi-disciplinary artist, based in London and Whitstable. Her work has been displayed at the Victoria and Albert Museum and she was guest artist at the "Feminism and Gender" exhibition at the New Hall Art Collection. Rachael House is a bisexual woman and feminist whose art reflects these positionalities. She is a co-director, along with Jo David, of the artist-run space Space Station Sixty-Five in southeast London, which opened in Dulwich in 2002, and moved to Kennington, London in 2012.
Along with sculpture and painting, House is also a cartoonist. Currently, House has 27 works spread across 36 publications in 90 recorded library holdings. Her work in comics spans from the mid-1990s to the present day. She is known for her work in queer comics. As a queer woman and feminist, House's comics frequent themes and discourses around activism, queer theory, women and sex in an intersectional manner. Concepts of woman's beauty, aging and queer love are common in narrative comics written by House. Of House's current comics, the vast majority detail either queer themes, feminist themes, or both.

During the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of non-pharmaceutical interventions, particularly lockdowns (encompassing stay-at-home orders, curfews, quarantines, cordons sanitaires and similar societal restrictions), were implemented in numerous countries and territories around the world. By April 2020, about half of the world's population was under some form of lockdown, with more than 3.9 billion people in more than 90 countries or territories having been asked or ordered to stay at home by their governments.
