Culture of Emergencies

Culture of Emergencies is a call for young European creators of visual arts and literature launched in full confinement, with a triple objective: to stimulate artistic reflection on the social and transformative role of culture in health and well-being; humanize the hospital experience of patients, family members and health personnel through art; and last but not least, help the collective of artists in times of professional uncertainty, with an economic endowment that partially alleviates the consequences of the pandemic on their careers. The first edition of the contest has brought together more than 200 proposals from young artists and writers between the ages of 18 and 35, from 11 European countries. The exhibition Culture of Emergencies was inaugurated in the Emergency Area of ​​the Hospital Clínico San Carlos on November 30, 2021.
