A NEW WORLD!

Dear Shutter Landers!

It’s no longer news that the year 2020 will go down in history as the year of the pandemic, the year that has brought with it significant changes to the whole world. Everything we know and how they used to be, seems to have gone through a phase and at the moment seems everyone is waking up to A New World.

Creativity and hospitality were gravely impacted by the new realities and guidelines that have governed the ways we go about doing the things we love. We all have woken up a year after to a newly emerging world. A world where things are quickly changing, a new world where change happens irrespective of your person or your permission! Yes, A NEW WORLD!

We find ourselves in a world where social gathering and events are now frowned at and if they must occur, they will be done under very strict guidelines and protocols. A new world that entails physical distancing. It means an empty stadium with no spectators, religious gathering and concerts are placed on the back burner. They are outrightly cancelled or attendance heavily regulated.

As a creative what’s your reality in this new world?
How have these changes impacted your work especially within the creative space?
What does the new world and realities mean to you?

For us at Shutters Network, it is a time to rest back and reflect as we have all seen that approach may have to be tweaked to remain relevant in this new world.

A new world. A blank slate. A time of reset. A second chance to make an impact. Another opportunity given to us to tell the stories we documented for the future yet unborn.

For us, it’s A NEW WORLD and as we forge ahead, we encourage creatives all over the world to embrace the changes that have come upon us and channel these changes for innovation and creativity!
