Art and Covid Misinformation Project
There has been an increase in health-related misinformation and disinformation specifically on the coronavirus disease, the vaccine, and other issues relating to the virus. State and non-state actors have come up with initiatives and strategies to combat this infodemic. Paint the Change and Health Studio with support from the Open Society are teaming up with Pollicy to work on a campaign using Art to fight covid-19 related misinformation and disinformation in local communities of Kampala (Kawempe) and Mbale towns. Our "Art and Misinformation" project targets local communities with an emphasis on low socioeconomic communities that are “socially excluded” and have limited or no access to information. The key activities for this project are two (2) co-creation/educational workshops and along with the installation of 2 murals with the participants. This targets the general public i.e. school going children, parents, persons living with Disabilities, and elderly people.
