roll. it's out now on netflix. and welcome to arts and culture more on that film a little bit later in the show and also coming up. the italian clothing label project so quick ticks all the boxes in its quest for a more sustainable and profitable fashion world. but 1st since early november the arts in germany have been experiencing what now applies to the whole country a 2nd hard lockdown all that means no concerts museums no opera or theater and here in berlin no club scene and after most entities actually took pains to implement corona hygiene plans the outcry was of course huge when they were shut down yet again while monica gotos the minister of state responsible for culture says the

government is coming through with funds but nerves are frayed with a grim winter still ahead. germany is a nation of culture known as the land of poets and thinkers it hosts the largest book fair in the world and is home to 6800 museums nearly half of the world's professional orchestras have their home here and the club sing is world famous. but since the covered 900 pandemic the arts have been in serious crisis. and. the art sick to got its own very large aid package the new start for culture normally i have a budget of $2000000000.00 euros per year and i added another 1000000000 in the middle of the year in order to alleviate the plight of those working in the arts you can't solve all the problems with 1000000000 euros but that was of course a very clear declaration of solidarity with the arts sector by the entire federal government it's an expression of appreciation for. the minister of state for

culture launched the aid program in june those employed in all areas of the arts can apply for support through their professional associations so far more than 600000 euros have flowed into the outset under this scheme. all the rehearsals for a miracle such a few days ago the oldest cabaret in berlin dish to her she has received aid amounting 270000 euros and raised another 30000 euros itself the theatre invested a good deal of the money in state of the art equipment for air purification just one of the measures aimed at complying with hygiene regulations. we've installed directional signs for the entrance and exit and plexiglass barriers at the baskin the coach we've gotten contactless lawsuits for the toilets we've

presented and partially implemented a digital concept that then allows us to stream productions so we've carried out this hygiene concept and we're very happy about it in the concept under there. but not everyone is taking care of the culture minister has now called for another 1000000000 euros for the arts there are many other aid programs as well solo artists groups and venues can apply for emergency aid brands special farms bridge loans and much more the economic effects to germany's far reaching arts and culture scene. jazz started freelance artists in particular need help to live as an bureaucratically as possible. it's really about the question of what someone deserves or not i do believe that artists especially if they're taken out of action by

a law already deserve something like short time compensation with. countless events have been cancelled and cultural institutions have been closed for months many artists have been using creative means to protest against the silencing of the arts. the arts help us to deal with the big questions of course they are the critical corrective of any living democracy. we need the arts because they hold up a mirror to us because they create a space for discourse because they deal with answers to the ultimate questions with values that give meaning we need the arts more than ever right now to help us make sense of everything we're dealing. the coronavirus inspired mexican art student. to make these images which he painted during the 1st lockdown in germany he recently held his 1st exhibition for friends only on the outskirts of
