Semarang International Doodle Festival #1 2021

COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on arts and culture and the education system at large. The pandemic has stopped almost the entire offline education activity system worldwide, leading to the closure of schools, universities, and colleges. It affects about 98.5% of the world’s student population (UNESCO, 2020).

Based on the importance of education during the pandemic, the Department of Visual Arts, Faculty of Languages and Arts, Universitas Negeri Semarang, is calling all doodle artists around the world to respond the education issue during COVID-19 pandemic. We will hold and showcase the doodles in the SIDLEFEST (Semarang International Doodle Festival) #1, 2021 with a special theme, “The Spirit of Education during Pandemic”.
