Abstract
ABSTRACT“Between art and quarantine” became a popular social media challenge during the COVID 19 lockdown. Thousands of users posted art recreations and formed several online communities of practice (CoPs) around this common interest. The boundaries of some of these CoPs are more permeable than others and they all utilize Instagram visual affordances to cross language barriers. We aim to gain a better understanding of the unique boundaries within and between these CoPs and their boundary crossing processes. Initial analysis of 1,555 posts reveals patterns of overlap and the roles of boundary brokers and boundary objects; yet, further in‐depth analysis is still needed, to gain a better understanding of the visual and cross language boundary crossing that is at play within and between these CoPs.
