Pandemic Culture cover

Pandemic culture: The impacts of Covid-19 on the UK cultural sector and implications for the future provides a summary of the local, regional and national policy responses to the Covid-19 crisis within the cultural sector, based on the findings of a 15-month research project led by the Centre for Cultural Value. It offers a rigorous statistical analysis of the impacts of these policy responses and of the pandemic itself on the cultural workforce across the UK and a mixed-methods analysis of audiences’ responses to the pandemic. The book identifies and critically reflects on the core, recurrent themes that have emerged from the research whilst highlighting implications for the sector’s future direction and for research in the fields of arts management and cultural policy.

“The book is a testament to the expertise and collaborative spirit of its contributors. The diverse backgrounds of the authors allow for a rich, interdisciplinary approach that provides a comprehensive understanding of how the Covid-19 pandemic affected the U.K.’s creative sector. The authors explore the immediate and long-term effects of the pandemic on various cultural sub-sectors and the its broader implications. It is a scholarly yet accessible work that will undoubtedly contribute to the ongoing discourse on cultural policy and management in a post-pandemic world.”
