Abstract: COVID-19 represents one of the most recent cases where there is a convergence in dynamics of racism, a global economic crisis, ageism, ableism and LGBTQI+-phobia, with serious consequences in social and personal relations which allows us to reconsider the pandemic as an assemblage that reinforces the structural inequalities already existing in the market economy system, and to examine how the communities affected are responding and have responded. In this article I set out from the line drawn between the living and the non-living, the media representations of the pandemic, the “living dead”, infection, the metaphors of the illness and the anti-racist artivism by the new generations of those of Asian descent in Spain in order to analyse the aesthetic and political dimensions of an assembly with the structural complexity of COVID-19 in which human and non-human agents intervene. The importance of the active role carried out by these non-human agents and those agents considered as non-living in the complex systems of social assembly does not involve losing sight of the decisive role that institutions and people have in the management of the health policies and their consequences.
