Luova vastarinta Kuusiplus-taiteilijaryhmän toiminnassa COVID-19-pandemian aikana

The article deals with everyday creativity and resistance during the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2020, authorities banned public events in order to curb the spread of the virus. In the spring of 2021, when there was a great deal of uncertainty, a number of artists organized themselves under the collective name Kuusiplus. The research material consists of the group's Facebook updates. Firstly, the article maps out what kind of structures and what kind of agency was involved in the group's activities during the pandemic. The second research question is how everyday creativity and cultural meanings are linked in the expressions of resistance by the group. The agency visible in the research material makes extensive and in-depth use of cultural competence and meaning.
