Art, Culture, ContemporaryAbstract
The global pandemic has brought about significant changes in the arts and culture landscape, not only in the way works are produced and distributed, but also in their meaning, function and relationship with society. The post-pandemic period has become a reflective and transformative space for arts and cultural practices in response to experiences of crisis, social limitations and the accelerated adoption of digital technology. This journal explores various post-pandemic arts and cultural phenomena by highlighting the adaptation of artistic practices, shifts in cultural consumption patterns, and the emergence of new hybrid and cross-media forms of expression. Apart from that, the studies in this journal also place art as a medium for negotiating identity, collective memory and social resilience in contemporary society. Through a multidisciplinary approach, this journal aims to enrich academic discourse on the role of art and culture in reshaping social relations, public space and cultural imagination in the post-pandemic era.
