Summary: | María Paula Zacharías is a journalist specialized in visual arts. Her most recent book arises in the context of global confinement due to the pandemic, an occasion that motivated the journalist to virtually "visit" almost a hundred artists, using the Zoom online platform and later shared on YouTube and Instagram. It provides tools to face loneliness, fear and boredom, by talented people who have an infallible ally: art. From these dialogues, Zacharías created a choral story taking the point of view of the Argentine creators scattered on the map, in different vital situations. In each chapter, an artist recounts his strategies to continue creating even in times of confinement, his methods to endure confinement and his small congratulations. By scanning the QR code below the title of each interview, the reader will be able to jump from the page to the YouTube screen to see the artist in action as he opens the doors of his house and shows where and how he lives, and what works he made Her first objective was to create content open to the public to break isolation, stimulate creativity or alleviate distress. The artists are between 20 and 104 years old and work all art disciplines and trends. They live in cities as distant as Rome, Bariloche, México, Córdoba, Finland, Chascomús, Rosario, Miami and Buenos Aires.
