Crises generate changes, it is precisely what is happening in the world after the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Recreating in our minds “happy” solutions to accentuated problems after having been eradicated said coronavirus, as well as carrying them out, is the task of all humanity. Protection of the icon symbolically invites us to become the “iconic generation” appreciated by future generations for the ability to have made good decisions and worked for the common good, that is why I imagine a world more aware of the value of life and "I visualize" humanity focused more on collective well-being than on individual pettiness, those are the "unexpected" changes that I hope will be generated by defeating this pandemic.

ArteMorfosis - Cuban Art Platform

PRISMA

The Colors of Crisis

From the unmitigated evocation to the less obvious metaphor: several Cuban artists have recreated the demanding circumstances we live in - the worldwide crisis that has also become personal history. The current COVID-19 pandemic has impacted dissemination and commercialization of art; likewise, it has affected the artistic process and confirmed that artists do not live in ivory towers: context always matters. ArteMorfosis - Cuban Art Platform, launched a call for artists living on the island to create artworks related to the current pandemic: the challenges, hopes, desires, alternatives, the unexpected consequences of the universal lockdown. The initiative - PRISMA The Colors of Crisis - invites Facebook users to like and promote their favorite artworks. And it is more: facilitating potential buyers and artists to discover each other and enabling acquisition and sales of artworks that will become chroniclers of these challenging times. ArteMorfosis invites you to the online exhibition: The created works constitute inspired testimony, your likes convey relevancy, your shares help increase reach, and your purchases enable the artists to endure and hope for new normality.
