musicals operas and plays it's hard to recognize the city that never sleeps. even though the lockdown has been lifted new york is traumatized by what it has gone through not long ago it was the u.s. has covert 980 center and there is worrying news from the rest of the country where the number of cases continues to rise. there's not much happening either in manhattan's gallery district chelsea locals who could afford it fled from the city weeks ago the lucky ones have 2nd homes those who stayed have other worries than going to art shows life also changed over nice for colorist alexander gray the most challenging. of the front end was just not knowing and here we are 6 months later and it feels like we've moved from fear to function.

who need it most. creative capital is one of the organizations providing support. i don't think people realize that in this country just 2400000 artists working full time there's an additional 1200000 working part time how did contribute to the sector the last of we have experienced because of covert at just to destroy this state is over $50000000000.00 that's what the creative sector contributes to the united states but when we were talking about relief efforts from the federal standpoint the arts were not included and far below none of the artists and that's where our role became even more critical how do we understand that how do we understand the dire needs of artists and particularly artists who are so dependent on the gig economy it's they're going from gig to gig and when all of that stuff there's no shows there's no concert there's no book tour is you know there to film festivals all of that stuff that means also that.

a veto flow in the 1st phase of reopening and i would say that'll be the 1st year we won't have the same number of visitors at all but if you mean i'm guessing 4000000 perhaps. a 3rd of our visitors come from abroad with me that's linked to new york as a tourism magnet. but i don't believe we're going to have a tourism revival until a vaccine is really found before and. this is new york new york will have some tourism of course but it will be much more local. because it will probably take 2 or 3 years until we're back to where we were this version i. don't know if. this is perhaps a minor issue compared to what is happening in the country at large people have been protesting for weeks against police violence and racism and. the pandemic has served to exacerbate the social economic differences between whites and. black

a melody they like certain things that they're hearing now as they're melody and they keep saying those things over and over again. and soon i hope there will be a different melody that's played. and when our hearts break we did. the day. to. day. yohannes bird in june of 2020 with his camera photographer. captures what covert 19 is meant for the people in his township this is in march the south african government reacted to the mix and back with a stringent lockdown that had dramatic consequences for much of the population.

helpful to let a nigga to lay excessively. d.h. and i don't know what i get would be like your hardly anyone here and so we tow has a steady job or a regular income. the walk down restrictions have since been eased despite the surge in corona infections. which took off if this is turning you know when to freeze that experience i want people. to get the few moved the people who feel real and so we had to do with living the day experiences during quick 90. 2. when he began his project didn't have a work permit. what he could do was drive his mother to work he shot his photos through the car window so the soldiers on patrol couldn't see him. and. look at the building and he's continued using this procedure even though social

problem really is a lot of people don't have. some of them would ask me to buy them a lot of. end up in need me to push in the middle with a photographer. and hence i decided to do an online exhibition and with money from the sleeves only if i had to buy food for the people not have worked with and other people one needed from this coming to juggle lonnie is paying a visit to his mother his siblings and their families live here too in just 2 rooms . maintaining a safe distance or quarantining is impossible in housing estates like this which date from the apartheid era. you get to realize that. we still living and you know the lot of programs that will were created by the

party and they haven't changed even to the years later they even changed their making preparations for the on line charity auction you want these 2 and also this one captures like the mood of the last day or 2 are called it is and it reflects depressive and i so kind of a what people are feeling almost this is a nice crowd. meanies photo series the every day waiting is being shown at the london branch of the goodman gallery. full of people you know we contributed to his and we were him to do and develop as you start to piece in photography so much i do photography has always been helping the community that i come from and vis time gave me the 2 foot unity to come back into cute ringback. we've already used up our savings and i can't go back home.

other family members couldn't come to attend the funeral which is unusual in our culture. jabulani de la meany is represented by the renowned goodman gallery. but even south africa's normally booming arts scene has been impacted by the corona crisis no art fairs are being held no exhibitions either so there are no visitors even producing art is harder. it has affected movement it has affected how much is create because some artists. cannot have access to the studios nothing is coming inside the country so getting material it's difficult so showing solidarity is vital galleries are supporting their artists who are in turn donating works to benefit auctions the

art scene is helping itself government you have to wait for police and in its times you have to move in order to make sure that outside african idleness to survive. many dreamed of flying to london for the opening of his show there. instead he's driving to an ngo and so we tow to distribute food to needy children. schools here were closed for almost 3 months so children didn't receive any school meals. and now some pupils have returned to school. for many youngsters whose parents now have no work this is often their only meal of the day. i don't know if the government will come so what happened when you can promise them people that you have to live a. out here in p.v.

i don't know not of places in cuba a lot of them. received any food. so i mean this is this and that is the fear that we need to not wait for government we need to initiate to move to take initiative and. travel money donated his time long before the pandemic since 2016 he's been giving photography classes to young people as part of a project to combat high youth unemployment tending causing childish y.-o. is one of his students now he too hopes to capture the effect of covert 19 on his environment attending causes family runs a tavern due to south africa's alcohol ban it must stay shut yet people still need somewhere to talk for instance about violence against women which has increased during the lockdown if only for could could we could. get out of it is also going to be so very emotional exchangers you know some of the kids who do you should also

experienced. south africa has more covert cases than any other african country people here live in fear of contracting corona virus and of the catastrophic economic aftermath the photo project helps everyone involved to express these feelings. so i think it is that isolation. i mean from the get go. to really. focus on the path towards. them not being here. so my approach is to encourage you know because of. their own life experiences that shapes obviously things so my role is just to create that pride for. downtown yohannes bird he makes the 20 kilometer trip back to so ito. back to where his career began as a street for. refers to documented important events on his neighbor's behalf.

for me for her to feel like you have changed can influence change we use photography as a starting point to look at those photographs and we start from having 12 truths problems sanitation schools housing just to mention a few we have a lot of problems believe that we need to start picking up on the cell phone with lonnie de la mimi views his involvement as a bone to south africa's philosophy of showing humanity towards others and one of the ways to show just giving back to a community that you're working with the 1st one is to collaborate and also to give in terms of. giving back to prince because if i can the people that are working with me don't need to be collectors all the work that we've created has not been a struggle there were for us one of the dozen of all of us as a look at how it was as a call and i guess all of one when i got a call on our knowledge of.

summer in berlin co that 1000 put the brakes on this city now cultural life is gradually steering again but under strict hygiene regulations in movie theaters and museums. the pandemic has also prompted germany's principal cultural institutions to try new paths depression cultural heritage foundation has for the very 1st time open the rooftops of the boat and museum and they're free to expand our church for a project together with berlin's clubs. d.j.'s play their sets against a backdrop of historical treasures. event organizer and co initiator mightiest 2nd . it clips the concept will spawn

a series of videos for digital platforms. are this is absolutely an attempt to launch something new in the midst of the corona walked down at present the agency is making a 0 revenues but still has monthly expenses so of course we hope these productions will eventually bring something and so we can make ends meet with. lin's nightlife has been especially hard hit except for open air events pubs and bars are allowed to reopen now but the clubs have been under lockdown since mid march no concerts no dancing no all night partying one of them is the good late in the government has responded to these financial hardships with another prospective aid package worth millions of euros but there's a critical issue here are clubs just entertainment venues or also cultural ones the state aid depends on the answer. if they had us we're not making any money on our

own or not much anyway and we have to stay closed for quite a long time and. that's the economic disaster my method of think with now i do get the impression that the state has realized that cultural venues are doing really really badly when it's from the vehicle and personally i don't see much difference between an opera house and a clone they just deal with different styles of music the big difference between the venues is that we normally finance everything else selves. until recently techno without the club would have been unthinkable a year ago at age 18 look at making a name for himself as a promising newcomer on the techno scene he was on the verge of an international breakthrough now he said work on new musical concepts meant more for listening than dancing. tricks.

if i were to arrange a track for a club now it would have a long intro and a long outro so it would be easy for the d.j. to mix. in on the tracks i've been producing these days are generally a lot shorter than without but you have to try to create music that will hold on to its value even after this all blows over. carolyn without its clubs would just not be the same back when distance had a very different meaning look at put out his 1st track digital just and now he's dealing with the dilemma of the music scene that no longer happens live but only through digital platforms. and appearance under corona crisis conditions with over 35000000 views united we stream is currently one of the internet's biggest streaming platforms. no pay no audience just cameras. some things off we keep

a distance from things that used to be totally normal for us but even made up our lives so it was kind of the fact that no festivals or clubs are happening this year means that the only medium a performer can use to gain recognition is a digital one and. of course i can play some live streamed but so can 10000 others and. even so for now streams are helping performers establish a presence and keeping the clubs afloat. now the crowdfunding united we stream project is networked the world over from detroit to singapore over 1500 performances have been staged in 4 months and a good half 1000000 euros in donations collected in berlin alone it's an initiative of club commission belin. yeah i think the question

of how much clubs are in danger right now is also a question of how long they're going to be shut down i think right now we are monitoring this very well but you know there's a big long way to go to a dark downstairs basement club with where people are packed we are aware of it but we also have to. remember everybody that we have probably the toughest time. but the clubs will hardly be able to survive long term on state aid in private. and they won't be able to reopen safely until the pandemic has passed. until it is working under the motto to think of leaving holding on that's the crowdfunding platform the club uses for streaming twice a week around 100 euros donated her evening that's not enough blank canvas something unfamiliar sure you can pull quite

a few things off just with technology recordings of concerts and so on. but if you're a club operation through and through it just doesn't work without the people who. run this club because we love the music and we love to see how people react really he meant when you've got people in the club and they start screaming because they love the music and the ambiance we still get goosebumps and we've been doing this for over 20 years now. clubs have made up an essential part of its cultural life since the $990.00 s. and now their survival is at stake. around us there's a lot of despair that's true but we're event managers we're the ones who keep the creativity flowing and assess it he is often the mother of invention of course we won't know till much later if what we come up with now is just as good or as profitable but it will be something new about the north and stay in. for now. hopes

are for a long warm summer allowing for lots of the best in the open air. dream cities 3 stories life in times of corona that was on its 21 foot this week see is soon. to.
