Projekat “Virus u doba COVID-a” svjedoči o brzoj ekspanziji društvene sebičnosti, stigmatizacije i osjećaja lične izoliranosti i odbačenosti kod svih koji su bili oboljeli, jesu oboljeli ili su, zbog okolnosti kojima su bili izloženi, boravili u samoizolaciji. U razgovorima sa onima koji su prebolovali ili onima koji su, zbog sumnje na virus, bili izloženi društvenoj odbačenosti i stigmi u poslovnom i privatnom okruženju, ovaj video projekat svjedoči o iščašenosti jednog vremena u kom se sloboda pojedinca i empatija potpuno zatiru, a eskaliraju strah, javni i prikriveni šovinizam u svim oblicima. Agresija i stigmatizacija svakog na kog padne sjena moguće izloženosti virusu postaje dozvoljena. KONTAKT je uz video materijal promovisao i dokument Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije, UNICEF i Crvenog križa – Vodič za sprječavanje društvene stigme.
The project “Virus in COVID Era” testifies to the rapid expansion of social selfishness, stigmatization, and feelings of personal isolation and rejection in all who have been, or still are infected with the COVID19 virus and those who were in isolation due to the circumstances. The conversations with former patients, or those exposed to the virus, and their testimonies about social rejection and stigma at work and their personal lives were recorded in video format. These project conversations testify to a twisted time when the freedom of an individual and empathy are completely annihilated, while fear and chauvinism (public and covert) escalate in all forms. The stigmatization of everyone with a shred of doubt of possible exposure to the virus and aggression towards them became permissible. Along with the video material KONTAKT promoted a document issued by World Health Organization, UNICEF, and the Red Cross –
“A Guide to Preventing and Addressing the Social Stigma associated with COVID-19″.
