Anna Drvnik is a photographer, DJ and band booker. When she realized that her job was beginning to set in line with the spread of the corona virus, she started the Facebook page Cultural Workers in the Corona crisis together with the author Sara Olausson.
- We thought we can't sit here and cry. Now we are organizing, there must be more in the same situation, says Anna Drvnik.
The site quickly became a gathering place for cultural workers and now has almost 3000 members. On the site, cultural workers can find support and disseminate tips and information on how to change and find alternative ways of creating during the ongoing crisis.
"I get scared"The initiative is a way for cultural workers to network and reach out despite infection protection rules, but the economic crisis for those in the cultural industry is more difficult to cure.
- I get scared. I have experienced moments of pure panic. There are certainly many who think we are privileged and do not have such important jobs. But who is doing your movies and fixing concerts, says Anna Drvnik and continues:
- I mean, what is a society without culture?
