Art allows us to examine what it means to be human, to voice and express, and to bring people and ideas together.

We are seeing how systemic racial inequality is putting people of color at a higher risk during the pandemic. We are realizing the economic implications of relying on minimum wage “essential” jobs. We are seeing disease become politicized. And, we are seeing a growing mental health crisis as a response to COVID-19.
