Digital journey to Tromsø 2020
Republished by ECBN from: IETM
Lockdown measures taken by governments across the globe to contain the spread of COVID-19 forced IETM to cancel its Spring Plenary meeting in Tromsø, initially planned from 30 April to 3 May 2020. However, the network invited both members and the wider performing arts community to join in a ‘digital trip’ to Tromsø, to get a taste of what was initially planned for the Plenary and get together – in a virtual space – around the theme Art and Activism. The programme included an opening Yoik led by Sami artists, a welcome word by the organisers, an inspiring keynote speech, an online networking activity into groups, as well as an informal Kodak-moment where we all raised our glasses and cups to the spirit of activism, solidarity and fellowship.
