Campaigns
We present the COVID-19 campaign as an opportunity for academics and artists to discuss the experience of the pandemic under our platform.
In just a few short months, COVID-19 changed our lifestyle and our way of communication like our generation hasn't witnessed before.
By supporting our members, we prove the strength of solidarity of art in times of a pandemic.

Paintings of Bergamo
Genya Krikova
Germany/ Russia
"During the lockdown, Genya created a watercolor series of Bergamo. "There are three pictures dedicated to Bergamo — one of the most suffered cities of Italy during the Pandemic."
Just Breathe
Lara Gomez
Spain
"In Spain, everyone was either complaining for not being able to go out or worried about the pandemic situation. So, this piece was a friendly reminder to stay calm. It will be auctioned among other local artists' works to help the Regional Homeworkers Association."
Flesh Constricts
Harry Martin
United Kingdom
"I have been making during isolation, questioning the solidity of the world through words, then questioning the solidity of the words. Use as many or as few as seem appropriate."
Glitch
Alex Zelina
Slovakia
"Glitch is a motion-art essay on the contemporary aimless journey of humanity, a mirror of mistakes of man, who constantly and cyclically finds himself in a vicious circle of sins.
In the form of an allegorical mystery and the contrast of everyday life, it creates contradiction and at the same time unity of the earthly and transcendental dimension of the universe, thus completing the two-year project Trilogy (Wow!, Kidnapping Europe, Job)".
Body Painting
Linute Juseviciute
France
A body painting created by three artists, actress Julie Benegmos, visual artist Chloé Guillermin and photographer Lina Juseviciute . “ It took some hours for this painting to expand and cover the human body. It was crucial to stay calm and motionless for this universe to emerge. Sometimes immobility, focus, not going anywhere gives space for new worlds and forms to be born within and without“.
The Seine Around Sunset
Carrie AI Guan
France/ USA/ China
"As I am confined alone in my little studio in Paris, I jog and stroll around the neighborhood from time to time. During normal times, when life is occupied by schoolwork, grocery shopping, and occasional outings with friends, I sometimes failed to notice the beauty of Paris. Now, with lots of alone time and few people by the Seine, I found time to stop and self-reflect and just watch the peaceful sunset by the river".
Try to Picture It
Vincent Straub
United Kingdom

I'm Not Human
Luca Brunetti
Italy
"There is a way within each of us, the ego consciousness. Covid19 made this process, for
those who carried it out or for those who were carrying it out, impossible, destroying the
idea of man's identity, attacked by nature, by themselves. I’m not a Human, wants to bring
this annihilation to light within potential infinite rebirths."
Lost and Found Objects
Patrícia Harsány
Hungary
"I started a visual diary Quarantine Jewellery. It’s an alternative way to discover the place where I grew up and represent material. I’m researching the ambivalence of isolation, re-interpretation of everyday objects, exploring the boundaries of jewelry."
