About the Book

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Art - Art Theory, General, grade: 70%, Birmingham City University (School of Art), course: Fine Art, language: English, abstract: During times of crisis, artists have been quick to respond and reflect on the chaos and destruction around them. While the world is tackling viruses, the artist has the function to depict the horror around the community and give a sense of understanding and empathy to people. Throughout history, there have been multiple pandemics and epidemics which have brought various responses from the art world. In this dissertation I will look at representations of Black Death, HIV/AIDS, the Great Influenza pandemic and COVID-19. I have used historical texts and image examples including contemporary artist like Tracey Emin and David Wojnarowicz. I also use methods derived from practice, in activating histories to understand crisis. Art serves many purposes in society including political and social causes, entertainment, self-expression, propaganda. During a crisis like the current COVID-19 pandemic, it especially helps to connect people and keep them sane. Throughout the year, people engaged in different art challenges on social media, shared home DIY projects, made their own facemasks and children drew rainbows to thank the NHS. Furthermore, artists around the world shared plenty of street art and digital art depicting facemasks, essential workers and transmitting a sense of longing for a brighter future. In contrast to that, there was a CyberFirst campaign by the government targeted at the creative industry encouraging them to rethink their career (see Appendix A). The campaign poster depicted a ballet dancer alongside the text 'Fatima's next job could be in cyber (she just doesn't know it yet)' next to the slogan 'Rethink. Reskill. Reboot.' While there might have been some good intentions behind the campaign, it received a lot of criticism as it seems to suggest that art jobs are not import
