JULY UPDATES
Honey & Smoke began it's takeover of the @stayconnectedlausc instagram profile as part of a collaboration with the USC Keck School of Medicine from the month of May until August. We are creating bilingual digital content (English / Spanish) that aims to provide the East Los Angeles Latinx Community health resources as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We will also create digital content that aims to empower, provide hope and uplift those in this community who have been personally affected by COVID-19. This project is in conjunction with the USC Stay Connected LA project that brings together a series of artists to create work in response to this moment.
Make sure to follow @stayconnectedlausc on Instagram to check out our project.
