Session Description
July 21, 2020 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT
The Arts and COVID-19, Tuesday, July 21, 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
COVID-19 is a broad societal and existential crisis that has brought existing inequities into focus. During this time, the arts have played a critical role in our wellness. This new reality brings forward questions in two key areas:
• Arts and Wellbeing during COVID-19: How can the arts be used as a tool to cope during a crisis? How can the U of T arts community contribute to wellness?
• Practicing Art Forms in Times of Crisis: How do artistic practices change during a time of crisis? How do the arts survive and thrive in a time of crisis? How can we support the needs of the arts community?
This workshop will bring together members of the arts community from U of T and beyond to explore these two areas, identify a grand challenge, and set next steps.
