The Coronavirus pandemic affected every aspect of our life since 2020, it was not until about the middle of 2022 that the intensity of its effect began to gradually dwindle. The artist community was among the professionals that were grossly affected by the restrictions that emanated from the pandemic.

The Finnish Ministry of Culture through its grant program launched a fund line for the purpose of supporting artists to be able to still produce their works despite the Corona effects.

I became a beneficiary of the grant for the May-June granting period of 2022.

Mma Yiri Ona could not have been created without the Taike Corona Grant.
