ResiliArt
Overview
ResiliArt sheds light on the current state of creative industries amidst crisis. Through virtual debates with key industry professionals and social media messages of resilience from artists, it raises awareness about the far-reaching ramification of COVID-19 across the sector and aims at supporting artists during and following the crisis.
Since the launch of the movement on 15 April, ResiliArt has been embraced by artists and cultural professionals around the world. The opinions expressed during ResiliArt sessions will be shared with governments, decision makers and the private sector so they may draw on this crowd-sourced wealth of knowledge to improve the existing support mechanism and build resilience in the cultural and creative industries. In order for culture to flourish during and beyond this crisis, we must take a well-informed, global action that reflects voices of those who were hit the hardest.
Cultural industry professionals are encouraged to join the movement and replicate the ResiliArt series in their respective regions and thematic focus by following publicly available guidelines. The devastation brought to the entire culture value chain will have a long-lasting impact on the creative economy; ResiliArt aims to ensure the continuity of conversations, data sharing, and advocacy efforts long after the pandemic subsides.
While ResiliArt is initiated by UNESCO, ResiliArt debates organized across the world are independent from UNESCO unless otherwise stated. Please note that opinions expressed during these discussions are not endorsed by the Organization.
