COVID-19, art and culture: create, build and generate new realities from the artist

Abstract

Faced with the situation experienced by the current pandemic produced by COVID-19, culture is going through a period of adaptation in the way of creating, transmitting and sharing that has had repercussions on new consumption and teaching habits. This has come about thanks to the perseverance of artists who persevere and seek new formulas in the face of the existing problem. Thus, this debate reflects the first-person vision of real situations that have arisen in culture and art, nourishing the debate with interviews with two relevant personalities: the Director of Culture and Heritage of the Generalitat Valenciana and writer Carmen Amoraga and the Professor of Painting José María Albareda. Both of them have reinforce the story in the first person. From this, it is clear that creativity has given new scenarios to the arts and culture, where teaching and dissemination has predominated in a telematic way and that it will endure as an alternative towards others resources. In conclusion, culture has been turning points and social cohesion, bringing us closer to others and recognising it as a productive part of our economy.
