I think the art world has best responded to all of the things 2020 has decided to throw at us. Social distancing and work from home? Art galleries and organizations tackled that with virtual exhibitions and workshops. New rising movements that give voice to those who may have struggled to speak up? Artists responded to that with new artworks and interpretations. … Continued
In every part of the world, we are experiencing reforms in systems and workflows. People are highly-sensitive in how things are done and how decisions are made.
