Aims & Objectives

The 2020-21 GYA North-South Interdisciplinary Grant was awarded to Stefan Kohler (Germany), Mohamed Elhadidy (Egypt), Syed Ishtiaque Ahmed (Bangladesh, Canada), Cristina Blanco Sío-López (USA), Paul Mason (Australia), Andreea Molnar (Australia), Xuan Bach Tran (Vietnam) for the research project: The COVID-19 pandemic and art (19and.ART).

By incorporating COVID-19 in their works, artists are expressing the effects of the current coronavirus pandemic on life in ways that are different from and complementary to standardized measures of pandemic impact. The 19and.ART project plans to collect, describe, and analyze artwork of life during the COVID-19 pandemic across the world in relation to the measured intensity of the pandemic. The results will be visible in a database and an open access website that will display COVID-19 art connected to a graph of the spread of the pandemic.

Visit the project’s website here: www.19and.ART

Image (left): “The kind neighbour”. This illustration depicts how kindness between neighbours has gotten stronger now we’re facing the Covid-19 confinement. The artwork is completely done with acrylics, cels, coloured paper, tracing paper, pencil and newspaper, and it aims to honour the empathy we’re feeling for one another. Image created by Fernando Cobelo. Submitted for United Nations Global Call Out To Creatives – help stop the spread of COVID-19. Downloaded from unsplash.com.

Progress

This project aims to focus on cartoons coming from print and online media as a form of visual and, possibly, educational art. These usually critically depict events and emotions in a timely manner, and they can be linked to particular sociopolitical contexts, both nationally and internationally. Data analysis will be multidisciplinary, comparing cartoons and pandemic measures with each other, as well as across countries and regions.

Visit the project’s website here: www.19and.ART

Outcomes

In an interim report submitted in March 2021, database work completed in the first half of the grant period, and plans for the next 6 months are outlined. Read about the project’s progress here: ‘COVID-19 and Art’ project visualises dataset | Global Young Academy.

Further Information

About the GYA Sasha Kagansky Interdisciplinary Grant

This grant scheme was initiated in 2014, aiming to foster collaboration across the lines that often separate researchers and limit possibilities. Specifically, this scheme facilitates the development of small-scale, innovative, curiosity-driven, blue-sky, exploratory research pilots or prototypes that unite researchers in low and middle-income countries and high-income countries and cross disciplinary boundaries.
The Sasha Kagansky Interdisciplinary Grant is awarded annually, and is meant to provide seed money to enable GYA members to prepare a proof of concept, prototype, or pilot research project with a view to securing larger external funding.
