Throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic we have been interviewing Prestonians to capture their experience of lockdown as part of our living city archive.

Meet Karen. Listen to what she has to say about her love of Preston, staying in hospital in lockdown and missing her loved ones.

This video is a selection of Karen’s thoughts, opinions and comments during the pandemic.

As part of the project artist Luke Richards photographed some of the interviewees and below you can see the artwork he created from Karen’s portrait.

The Living City project is produced by They Eat Culture, & supported by the Community Lottery Fund & Arts Council England.
