- Systemic changes
The art and culture scenes as an industry that heavily relied on events became crippled all over the globe shortly after the lockdown act was enforced by governments to curb the pandemic. Supermarkets and its relational supply chains were thriving amidst the crisis when the art workers had to upload their works to the incentive-less social media platforms to survive. This situation posed two realities defined by two conditions. One that is judged by the statecraft and another is its resiliency to survive in a crisis that is coupled with the complexities of the market economy. The failure of the arts now was resulted by an ageing system that needed to be revised so that it could ensure all art workers can sustain. On the other hand, the crisis has revealed that supermarkets and its network of supply chains still play an essential role as part of societal caretakers. This project seeks to rethink their roles as the partner caretakers for the arts and humanities.
