Pamphlet: Has Covid Confirmed the Power of the Arts (or are we all stuffed)?
In October 2019, as part of that year’s Falmouth StreetDraw24, we organised a panel discussion: ‘Can Art Change the World?’
Two hundred people packed in to The Poly’s auditorium to listen to a panel discussing how the arts, artists and creativity make the world a better place, unaware of the pandemic waiting in the wings.
As we headed into the second lockdown, illustrator & writer Helen Trevaskis, founder of StreetDraw24 and organiser of the original talk, revisited this theme with the magnifying lens of Covid highlighting even more acutely what makes the arts so precious.
This pamphlet contains the original transcript of that panel discussion, prefaced with insights and perspectives from the original discussion and additional interviews conducted during lockdown.
