Intermedia program promotes COVID-19 vaccination through art
ORONO University of Maine intermedia students are creating and sharing art that advocates for COVID-19 vaccination and equitable distribution of doses.
In an awareness campaign led by Intermedia MFA Program Director Susan Smith, about 20 graduate and undergraduate students have been developing various media that reinforce the hardships of the pandemic and encourage spectators to help bring about its end through inoculation.
The effort, known as Creativity vs. COVID, builds on another campaign launched by the Center for Artistic Activism and Universities Allied for Essential Medicine called “Free the Vaccine for COVID-19,” which includes a traveling exhibit touring several universities. UMaine’s Innovative Media Research and Commercialization Center (IMRC) is the first stop for the exhibit, which is on display through April 16.
