“The article is designed to analyse the preconditions for maintaining creative independence in the period 2020-2021. The research was conducted during the international art project “# 365daysafter”, which aimed to collect stories and voices of artists from four local contexts, analytically study art during the pandemic in Ukraine and around the world.
The growing negative impact of social restrictions has prompted the search for ways to break down the walls of isolation and create a virtual “Library of Artist’s stories”. The text of the field study on the limitations of social activity during the pandemic contains stories about the experience of artists from different countries on ways to cope with obstacles, effective examples of successful overcoming the crisis. Analysis of examples of finding effective methods and ways not to lose creative activity in the face of local and international constraints on social life and communication.
The transit zone is to some extent a place of imprisonment, the exit from which is clearly limited by a pre-established “choice”.
However, it is also a distance interaction, when, finding themselves alone with difficulties, artists began to actively seek a way out of the situation, using the disadvantages as advantages, and the suppression of freedom as a factor in gaining even more independence. In the transit zone of the pandemic, artists created and destroyed borders at every stage of the struggle for their creative freedom.
.
The temporarily created waiting room is a living structure that is an example of an effective mechanism for getting out of a crisis situation. Based on the results of this model of behavior, we will be able to assume in which direction the struggle for creative independence will develop, in case the suppression of freedom is repeated in the future.
The period 2020-2021 has become a challenge for most artists, as an endless stay in the waiting area and finding themselves in new conditions of social activity. Stiffness of this period has all the characteristics of waiting during the delay, more than 220 participants of the international art project “#365daysafter” were in our transit zone.
