Covid-19 Cultural Response Archiving and Research Forum
COVID-19 in India: Cultural Responses,an archiving and research endeavour, emphasizes on how the economical, educational, geo-political, and social changes have instigated a new cultural schema, reality, and language. The focus of the project locates the cultural and the political shifts and examines the Indian responses through various mediums. It proposes to investigate the newer and reworked conceptions of the “public” and the “private” spaces and to explore how cultural changes have introduced different, sudden and advertent relations, and experiences that, in all possibility, are going to persist during and post COVID-19.
