Welcome
What is USC stay connected l.a.?
We are a creative health and arts campaign that aims to reduce COVID-19 in the Latinx communities of eastern Los Angeles. We are doing so through partnerships with local artists and teams to create culturally tailored and community inspired messages. You will find these projects featured throughout our festival with suggestions about ways to prevent COVID and protect our communities.
Funding source: USC Keck COVID-19 Research grant, via a generous gift from the W.M. Keck Foundation.
What are our project goals?
Uplift, provide hope and empower the people of East Los Angeles communities to protect against COVID-19.
What is the Digital Arts Festival?
Our festival is a celebration of our work this past year, showcasing our artists and community teams, research, and partnerships. To learn more, please watch this introductory video created by project manager Mercedes Amezcua. After that, check out our interview between Itzel Mena, of Honey & Smoke, and the project team, or click here to learn more about the researchers and artists.
