The pandemic through the magnifying glass of art

„А Museum of Covid-19 Fears” helps us lock inside the traumatic image of the pandemic and move forward.

"The unique thing about this project of ours is that it involves contemporary artists who create original images of every fear," Polina Vidas from the Free Poetry Society, part of the team that realized the idea, told BNR. “Fears accompany us throughout our lives. Unfortunately, we have been experiencing a different angle of fears for more than a year. They have caught up with us - whether one is afraid of a possible loss or totally denies what is happening”.

This interactive project helps us face our horrors and rage with the support and mediation of art. The host of this experience until the end of the month is the Sofia gallery "Dose", after which the museum will continue to live in the digital space.
