Políticas culturales en el mundo post-Covid 19: La crisis sanitaria todavía no termina para muchos países latinoamericanos, pero ya se plantean importantes preguntas para los gobiernos de la región, particularmente la necesidad de reabrir sus economías mientras luchan contra la pandemia. Frente a la amenaza de una grave crisis económica y social, ¿cuál será el lugar de la cultura y las artes en los planes de los gobiernos de la región? El sector cultural ha sido profundamente... afectado por la crisis: los lugares de creación y difusión artística permanecen cerrados y muchos artistas carecen de ingresos. Los participantes en este panel hablan de las iniciativas que han surgido en diversos países de la región para apoyar a la cultura y las artes: ¿qué están haciendo los gobiernos para apoyar al sector cultural y a los artistas? ¿Cuáles son las iniciativas más destacables - desde el estado, los gobiernos locales, o la sociedad civil? ¿Cuál será el lugar de la cultura en los planes gubernamentales para el mundo post- COVID?
