In 2020, we came face to face with a stark irony. In order to preserve our community from this pandemic, we had to physically dissolve our community for an extended period of time. 2020 was also the year when art was explicitly categorized as a non-primary or non-essential activity by governments in most countries. What can art do in such a time?

During eight days in December 2020, we exhibited 64 artists, 106 works of art, 7 performance events, 8 online workshops and 2 different types of mail art.

We selected works that speak to the reactions and thoughts of people in this affected time — and we only accepted works which the artists considered they had not produced alone.

As the lockdown prohibited us from engaging in the usual exhibition practices, we sought alternative platforms to transmit works of art — private estates, pharmacies, bookstores, a weekly protest march, mailboxes and virtual websites.
