have survived 9 months without large 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. this 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 home those who stayed have other worries than going to archos 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 and.

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 concerts there's no book tour is you know there to film festivals all of that stuff that means. also ben you're going from.

the sad reality is that 95 percent of the countries have lost at least part of their income and 62 percent are no longer earning a living from it. and the museums are also suffering the metropolitan one of the most famous in the world is expected to lose $150000000.00 by the end of the year that it has an endowment of 3.5 $1000000000.00 there were always strictures as to how the funds can be spent it's the don't is and sponsors who decide. to make it was supposed to be celebrating its 150th anniversary this year but kevin 19. luckily it's set to reopen at the end of august but it's directed doubts that they'll be seeing the 7400000 annual visits his who used to come any time soon. and

follows a d.v.d. or film 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 only a few i'm guessing $4000000.00 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. on. 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. white and black

americans in a very divided country african-americans are 3 times more likely to contract the coronavirus and twice as likely to die of covert 19 than white a u.s. citizen to. the. new york's modern dance company the alvin ailey american dance theater has always been interested in reflecting the black american experience and its works patients for them to covert 19 has put an end to live performances troops trying to sow the dancer and choreographer hope boy can created a new show for an online audience what's going on in our world right now. is a microscope is on it and a microscope will will continue to be on on leaders who lead with leaders who lead with mistrust you know this is what they call it we're right now there are groups

of people who like hate as a melody they like anger is a melody they like certain things that they're hearing now as to melody and they keep saying those things over and over again. and soon i hope there will be a different melody this play. and when our hearts break we did. we don't. need to say we did. yohannes bergen 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 looming handle mike with a stringent lockdown that had dramatic consequences for much of the population.

of approval to let a nigga who lay eggs us in the blog at. the age. of the what i do will be. your hardly anyone here and so we toll has a steady job or a regular income. to walk down restrictions have since been eased despite the surge in corona infections. which took a 5th place this time and i want to freeze that experience i want people even been here a little too good to feel you move the people who feel real and so we had to do with giving it to the experiences during clinic 19. 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

distancing isn't suited to usual ways of working or the harsh realities of life and the townships. in the new. yorker who do. these trash collectors come from the south but now none of them can return home to their family must go to war don't you if you don't. normally spends a lot of time with the people he photographs but due to corona that's not possible for you to go if you're going to get a no no go for a few moments of it doesn't it has a lot to do. with your face it wouldn't work there. lani de la minnie is a successful photographer but he still firmly rooted in his township the people here know and trust him. with the thought of this project exactly

what to do have been looked at when you. have more interested in to confuse the issue and one of the common problem going to be really is a lot of people going to food and some of them would ask you to buy them a lot of. endeavor made me to pushing them at all it's a photo before. and so i decided to do an online exhibition and with money from the sleeves only if i had to buy food for it if you put it out of work with other people who were in need from this coming to. me is paying a visit to his mother his siblings and their families live here too in just 2 rooms . maintain a. a safe distance or quarantining is impossible in housing estates like this which date from the apartheid era. the good to realize that. we still living and you know the lot of programs that we were created but they

haven't changed even to the theme 5 years later they haven't changed they're making preparations for the online charity auction you want these 2 and also this one captures like the mood of the last day or 2 i called it is and it reflects depressive and i so kind of what people are feeling almost this is an astro. mini's 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 in who i am today and of that 2 piece in photography so much i do photography has always been helping the community that i come from and visit gave me that which you need to to come back into q. we've already used up our savings and i can't go back home. to.

other family members couldn't come to attend the funeral which is unusual in our culture. jabulani de la mimi 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 move meant it. 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 it's times you have to move in order to make sure that outside african mr survives. 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. 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 we promised them people that we were going to food out here in peter edelman out of places in cuba

a lot of them. we haven't received any food parcels yet. so this is this is not is the fear that we need to not wait for government we need to initiate to move to take initiative and. lonnie 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 shots 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 she could could we could. get out of it is also going to be so emotional exchangers you know some people come here to be huge but also

things. 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 it their own life experiences that shapes obviously things so my or my role is just to create their profile. via downtown yohannes berg he makes the 20 kilometer trip back to so leto. back to where his career began as a street photographer who documented important events on his neighbor's behalf.

for me in photography this if you like you know change it can influence change we use photography as a starting point to look at those photographs then we start from living 12 through its problems sanitation schools housing just to mention a few we have a lot of problems i don't believe that we need to start picking up on so. many views his involvement as a boon to south africa's philosophy of showing humanity towards others and one of the ways to assure just giving back to the community that you working with them in the 1st one is to cooperate and also to give back in terms of. getting booked a prince. because apart from the people that need to be collectors all the work that we've created has not been started you know there were 4 of us want to go so it doesn't have all of us and say look at where there's a color you could get all the 10 and i got color knowledge.

in. the. summer in berlin kovac 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 a new path of depression cultural heritage foundation has for the very 1st time open the rooftops of the boat and museum and they're free to expand it church for a project together with pearl and clubs. d.j.'s play their sets against a backdrop of historical treasures. and event organizer and co initiator mightiest

2nd at hopes the concept will spawn a series of videos for digital platforms. as they've all this is absolutely an attempt to launch something new in the midst of the corona lockdown 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 in 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 guillotine the government has responded to these financial high. chips with another perspective 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. and 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 about my methods of the 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 movies and personally i don't see much difference between an opera house and the club and 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 was 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. for tracks

if i were to arrange a track for a club now he 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. but you have to try to create music that will hold onto its value even after this all blows over. perlin without its clubs would just not be the same back when distance had a very different meaning luka at put out his 1st track digital just and now he's dealing with the dilemma of the music scene that no longer happens life but only through digital platforms. and appearance under corona crisis conditions with over 35. a 1000000 views united we stream is currently one of the internet's biggest streaming platforms. no pay no audience just cameras. so we keep

a distance from things that used to be totally normal for us that even made up our lives so that's 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. 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 berlin. yeah i think the question

of how much to 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. the 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 donations and they won't be able to reopen safely until the pandemic has passed. until then good tin 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 if donated per evening that's not enough. of 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 and being told by the more we run this club because we love the music and we love to see how people react you know 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 and the whole. berlin's clubs have made up an essential part of its cultural life since the 1990 s. and now their survival is at stake. one couple moeller 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 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 what north and stay in. for now hopes

are for a long warm summer allowing for a lot snow then in the open air. dreams cities 3 stories life in times of corona that was arch 21 for this week see you soon.
