The COVID-19 crisis has emphasized our need for support, from social support to economic. This project illustrates how the crisis has exacerbated the conditions for those in need - and how small-scale support networks have been created to help alleviate poverty. The 'Panaro solidade' (support basket), a culture in Italy, has been revived in the crisis to provide food baskets which are lowered from the balconies into the streets. This project outlines how to create these support baskets, but also highlights the stark realities of abundance and scarcity which the COVID crisis has accelerated.
