Arts & Entertainment COVID-19 GriefThis event is in honor of The 1.3 million lives lost to COVID-19 across the Americas
While the Americas accounts for approximately 13% of the world’s population it has experienced nearly 50% of the world’s COVID-19 deaths, with over 1.3 Million lost. The Western Hemisphere has been disproportionately affected by the social disruption, loss of life and economic instability of the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe this project will serve as an opportunity to acknowledge the challenge the Americas uniquely faced as well as create opportunities for unity and shared healing through art.
