Johannesburg-based bassist, musician and composer Shane Cooper (cardonspokes) launches digital series of online collaborations - arts24_sa

by President Cyril Ramaphosa on 26 March 2020 has thrown the arts sector and its participants for a loop.

A privilege number is using this as an opportunity to ask bigger questions about meaning-making and how to respond to a pandemic, the kind of enquiries that are distilled from stillness and silence. However, for many many the questions have become more urgent. More immediate. What will I eat? How will I pay rent? When will I work again?

"When the pandemic hit, every project of mine for the next 6 months got cancelled within a few days. That 6 months was a year of intense prior planning and work gone down the drain. Needless to say that's a massive blow financially, emotionally and psychologically. I decided to do the collaborations to help myself stay positive and creatively active, and connect with people from other disciplines who have also been affected," explains Cooper.
