Coronavirus Resources: Arts, Culture and Cultural Mobility

Last updated: 5 July 2021

This list of resources was first started in the early days of the pandemic. It is now archived – in large part because we expanded our regular editorial policy to include all the online collaborations, residencies and other programmes that we might otherwise have listed here. You can now find these on our news page. Even if you aren’t able to travel, there are still opportunities out there to work, create and be mobile.


All sectors are affected by the Covid-19 pandemic but we are very much aware that the alternative and independent art scene is under intense pressure.

This list of resources, produced in partnership with On the Move member Circostrada, was first compiled in 14 March 2020, and was kept up to date in the following months as a way to gather information and initiatives internationally that would be useful to share, know about, and/or be inspired by.
