On March 23rd, The Finnish Cultural and Academic Institutes network launched the Together Alone project: a fast progressing open call for artists and creatives, many of whose projects were cancelled or postponed due to the COVID-19. Nine weeks and 437 applications later, we had commissioned 20 artists, creatives and collectives around the globe to reflect upon the current situation through diverse artistic practices.
The selected projects are:
