We will remember art alongside these events, and, in

turn, we will carry on the legacy of our own points in history.

In these times of struggle, the global rise of COVID-19

has driven us back to our most basic, human principle

– to create. Through different mediums, both innovation

and humor will color our memory of this moment in

time. To root this assertion in reality, Music Business

Worldwide reports that the video app, TikTok, saw

an 18 percent increase in downloads from March 16th

to March 22nd, bringing the total amount to around 2

million downloads in just seven days. Overall, for the

month of March, a 27 percent increase was recorded

on the app, compared to 6.2 million downloads in the

month of February alone. Subsequently, our desire to

create art is just as aggressive as our desire to consume it.

Streaming giant, Netflix, saw an almost 96% increase in

stock overall, compared to its 2018 statistics, and a 14%

rise just this year. Evidently, more time at home means

a return to mediums typically associated with mindless

entertainment, but to degrade such modes of enjoyment

is to devalue the effect of art on society as a whole.

Art celebrates emotional expression in a way that

empirical society has shunned, much to the detriment

of our collective social consciousness. In this way,

artists and creators like producers, writers, influencers,

and even TikTok celebrities contribute to the wellness

of our global community. When we are allowed to

slow down, we gather around our passions and unite

in a common cause. In times of trouble, to revel in the

simple pleasures of life is radical, but to rally around

creatives is nothing if not natural. When we look back

in retrospect, I hope that we will not forget who we

turned to most in times of trouble. I hope we will

not forget that artists have always been the voice

of change, and if not this, then the voice of solace.

I hope that we will not forget them when the dust

settles, and we have nothing left to do but begin again.
