Focusing on how COVID-19 has invaded every aspect of our lives -- but curated to catalyze cross-cultural conversations on our post-COVID-19 existence -- “Contaminated” was hosted (virtually and physically) on May 7th, 2020.
But how can we use art to cleanse and decontaminate our world of the “political plagues” -- cultural divisions, medical inequities, and digital pollution -- that COVID has called greater attention to?
In this time of uncertainty, COVID-19 -- both at its height and in its aftermath -- has contaminated everything: our homes, our lives, our communication, and even our shared reality.
Focusing on how COVID-19 has invaded every aspect of our lives -- but curated to catalyze cross-cultural conversations on our post-COVID-19 existence -- “Contaminated” was hosted (virtually and physically) on May 7th, 2020.
As with every other part of society, technology is changing public safety forever. The need to ensure basic principles of human and civil rights in the mechanisms of digital public safety has never been more pressing. Along with the Institute for Digital Humanity and the Safety Not Surveillance coalition, the IAA participated in a public discussion and technology workshop focused on surveillance, privacy rights, racial justice, and digital ethics. The event was hosted on October 20, 2021

But how can we use art to cleanse and decontaminate our world of the “political plagues” -- cultural divisions, medical inequities, and digital pollution -- that COVID has called greater attention to? In order to start disinfecting ourselves -- and re-constructing our shared humanity (and reality) -- the Institute for Aesthetic Advocacy and the Institute for Digital Humanity solicited submissions to our juried show “Contaminated.” Focusing on how COVID-19 has invaded every aspect of our lives -- but curated to catalyze cross-cultural conversations on our post-COVID-19 existence -- “Contaminated” was hosted (virtually and physically) on May 7th, 2020.Change the text and add your own content, including any information that is relevant to share.

Title 03
-
Transform the initial exhibition into a permanent and “living” interactive online archive of trauma narratives for advocates, educators, and victims.
-
Begin a robust marketing and branding assessment/campaign to “centralize” existing Twin Cities’ resources (including advocacy groups working in the intersectional nexus of gun violence and trauma) to maximize the efforts of these organizations already working to end this tragedy of shattered lives.
-
Promote existing PTSD mental health tools to affected communities in Minneapolis via workshops and targeted marketing campaigns.
-
Provide robust art-based PTSD training to local educators.
We believe turning public and political attention to this issue provides three critical advantages: (1) raising awareness of the problem; (2) properly re-framing gun violence (and its aftermath) as a public health issue (and not simply a criminal justice issue); and (3) providing healing to individuals (and families) to prevent the “secondary” strain of violence that results from untreated/under-treated PTSD.
