Medidas emergenciais direcionadas aos setores culturais e criativos durante a pandemia da covid-19

Abstract

The cultural and creative sectors have been greatly affected by the pandemic of the new coronavirus and the norms of social distancing, mostly because creative and cultural processes involve the physical presence of many people in their production stages. In times of crisis, these sectors need to count on government support to continue their activities. Thus, this research aims to analyze the emergency public

policy measures directed at the creative and cultural sectors in the context of the Covid- 19 pandemic in Brazil. The research is exploratory, descriptive, and documental in

nature, and presents the cultural and creative fields in the international and national context, as well as the trajectory of cultural policies in Brazil and Ceará. The achieved results have shown that the sectors were very affected by the pandemic, which resulted in a reduction of much of its revenue, a decrease in the number of employees, debts, among others. It was also found that important emergency measures were created to reduce the effects caused by social isolation, aimed both at professionals and cultural and creative organizations during this period, with emphasis on the Aldir Blanc Law.
