In response to COVID-19, Amplifier launched an emergency campaign with top art curators and public-health advisors from around the world looking for public health and safety messages that can help flatten the curve through education and symbols that help promote mental health, well-being, and social change work during these stressful times.
It’s normal to feel a mixture of positive or negative emotions during difficult times. Rather than suppressing them or denying their existence (with false optimism), the healthy way to deal with emotions is to acknowledge and name them, calm down and take control. Finally, naming the outpouring of empathy and hope despite this challenging time, and the opportunities we have to take action as a next step to help those around us.
