Abstract

This paper aims to describe and examine the virtualization of the Brazilian cultural sector during the Covid-19 pandemic, to analyze the Brazilian government's response to the sector's crisis and to identify the perceptions of the Rio de Janeiro artists about the socioeconomic impacts of the pandemic. The methodology used to achieve these objectives includes documentary research and data collection through a questionnaire. The theoretical approach focuses on the concepts of virtualization and cultural rights. The results of the survey show that a large number of artists have begun to use online tools to continue their professional activities. However, despite some advantages, the impossibility of making the productions profitable and the consequent economic loss are placed as major disadvantages of this virtualization. As far as cultural policies are concerned, the aspect that became most evident in the responses acquired refers to the management model and its its ineffectiveness.
