How the coronavirus crisis inspired the cultural scene
The pandemic hit the arts sector particularly hard. With new concepts, theaters, clubs and museums have tried to make the best of a difficult situation. Culture is not everything, the movie theater marquee reads, but without culture, nothing is worth anything!
The coronavirus pandemic has in fact taken a toll on the arts and culture scene. Whatever encouraging words politicians have uttered over the past months, they have still sounded helpless more than anything, when they said the sector would findcreative solutions.
