The creative industries have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. Over the past months our International Council has provided us with insight into different challenges, experiences, and sources of inspiration found across the world in the creative sector during this time. Stories from the Council have been illuminating, concerning, and even uplifting. In this blog series, we hear experiences from Edna dos Santos-Duisenberg in Brazil, from George Gachara in East Africa, and from Laura Callanan in the United States.
