H Covid-19 έχει επηρεάσει όλον τον κόσμο. Ανήσυχοι όλοι και οι δρόμοι άδειοι.
Ή, σχεδόν άδειοι. Μόνον μία ομάδα εξακολουθεί να περιπλανιέται και να μένει πιστή στους δρόμους και αυτή είναι η «κοινότητα» των καλλιτεχνών δρόμου, των γκραφιτάδων. Ρισκάρουν, αλλά έπαιρναν ρίσκο και τότε που η ζωή ήταν «κανονική». Λόγω της τέχνης τους, πάντα φορούσαν «μάσκες». Σε μια περίοδο που γκαλερί και μουσεία είναι κλειστά, οι δρόμοι είναι ο μοναδικός καμβάς της δημόσιας φαντασίας. Να πώς κάποιοι καλλιτέχνες δρόμου απ’ όλον τον κόσμο «ερμηνεύουν» αυτό που ζούμε.
Στο Άμστερνταμ, ο Fake λέει ότι ζωγράφισε τη «Σούπερ Νοσοκόμα» ως ωδή σε όλους τους επαγγελματίες υγειονομικούς σε όλον τον κόσμο.
Στην Κοπεγχάγη, ο Andreas Welin -γνωστός ως Welinoo- φιλοτέχνησε την πιο διαδεδομένη απεικόνιση του ιού, η οποία θυμίζει αμυδρά το πρόσωπο του 45ου Προέδρου των ΗΠΑ.
