MKE’s Creative Efforts to Stop COVID-19

During the height of the pandemic, Milwaukee artists strategically translated COVID-19 public health messaging in collaboration with health professionals, community organizers and activists. This group, The Creative Health Collective, designed culturally relevant murals, banners, video, music, graphic designs, stencils and tailored masks to mobilize their communities. Many of the artists in this collaborative used their art as a platform to challenge social norms while promoting cultural pride in their communities. Artwork was repurposed for broader inuence and city-wide dissemination through billboards, bus shelter advertisements, window decals, and posters for businesses and clinics.
