Slovenski kulturno-kreativni delavec v času pandemije COVIDA-19

Abstract

Even before the Covid-19 pandemic, the position of the Slovenian cultural and creative worker was anything but promising. During the pandemic, it has been further deteriorating as showcased in this paper on the basis of a questionnaire survey. Poligon Creative Center in cooperation with the Center for Creativity under the auspices of the Museum of Architecture and Design in Ljubljana was instrumental in the process of empirical research design. When developing our questionnaire survey, we aimed to find out how Slovenian workers in the cultural and creative sector (hereinafter CCS) cope with the changed working conditions due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We were not interested merely in the economic aspect of the altered everyday routine. The broader socio-psychological reality of life faced by the Slovenian cultural and creative workers, along with their assessment of the new normality and the government measures’ adequacy in terms of maintaining the CCS at the pre-pandemic stage of development, are also addressed. Selected key findings of our research are presented and discussed in this paper. We also list and critically evaluate preventive measures we think should be put into effect as soon as possible.
