Artists Against an #Infodemic
In partnership with The Everyday Projects and Dysturb we present Artists Against an #Infodemic, a collaborative visual initiative to fight misinformation about COVID-19, made possible thanks to the support from the John S. Knight Journalism Fellowships program at Stanford University and a partnership with Photowings.
Building on images by photographers, muralists, street artists, and illustrators from around the world, this project brings greater attention to public health messages. Working with memetic distribution expert Pamela Chen, and Dr. Jenell Stewart, DO, MPH, an Infectious Diseases specialist, the collaboration utilizes the power of visuals to contest misinformation and disinformation in communities where infection rates are most prominent, and to improve public communication and news delivery surrounding COVID-19 to underserved communities.
