Through ResiliArt, UNESCO and CISAC will give the cultural industry a voice. The debates will be a resource for policymakers when developing policies and economic measures aimed at artists.
– Life and health are of course the first priority in this crisis. However, Covid-19 is also a disaster for culture. Artists risk huge losses of income. The economy and jobs in the cultural industry are at risk of being lost, says CISAC President Jean-Michel Jarre.
– Culture can also be part of the solution, says CISAC President Jean-Michel Jarre.
He emphasizes that a global debate forum where artists' voices are heard is necessary for states to be able to develop effective measures.
– Culture can also be part of the solution. Art and culture are fundamental to society. They add value to our lives and help us through difficult times.
