On the Move & Circostrada | information sources for arts, culture and cultural mobility in COVID-19 crisis

All sectors are affected by the COVID-19 pandemia but On the Move is very much aware that the alternative and independent art scene is / will be particularly under pressure. This list of resources has been compiled, in partnership with Circostrada*, as a way to gather information and initiatives internationally (particularly in Europe, Asia and the USA) that can be useful to share, know about and/or be inspired from. 

On the Move and Circostrada‘s joint initiative has built an extensive and updated source of information regarding the condition of arts, culture and cultural mobility under the current crisis.

This list is by no means comprehensive and can be easily enriched thanks to your feedback and proposal to include new resources. Feel free to email us any initiative related to one of the sub-topics below at mobility(at)on-the-move.org
