This Spring the Corona virus has significantly changed the ways we work and spend our free time. Digital channels and easy access have become more important than ever, both for artists and audience in the fields of culture and art. Our response was to announce an open call for releases between issues for the time being. More information you’ll find here.
All the releases are gathered here.
