The Confinement Chronicle
International artists provide perspective, comfort and hope in times of uncertainty.
On April 1, 2020, at the start of the COVID-19 confinement, FrikiFish launched a global open call offering an opportunity for artists to reflect on the current economic, political, and social situation through the arts. We asked artists to reflect on the following themes: confinement, pandemic, isolation, resilience, social distancing, camaraderie, catalyst for change and a new paradigm.
The final online exhibition consisted of 30 finalistsWith the help of generous contributors and collaborators: Sensio Group, Flash Gallery BCN and the FrikiFish community, we selected a talented group of 30 artists and raised a cash prize of €500.
The winner with the most votes was announced on August 15, 2020. Congratulations Aina Oset!
