Creating in Crisis

Systems of Creativity and Improvisation

The Covid-19 pandemic has unsettled our institutionalized methods of art production and its reception. We must now learn to create in the void of uncertainty. How can we learn from improvisation, both as a natural phenomenon and artistic/architectural methodology? How can art reposition itself in the everyday chaos of life?
