The Pandemic
Text by Suzanne Harkhoe
April 4, 2020
This work depicts different aspects of the times we live in, one of which will be mentioned here: It looks into the neoliberal plague and how social resistance arises despite of physical social distance. It highlights sovereignty of all the people and our innate equality that is not reflected by the dominant political system. The urgency of life cannot be sustained by a profit-based economy. It reassesses geopolitics, as the destructive role of imperial countries is showcased.
