For my intervention 3, I decided to make a series of four posters to raise awareness about the reality of covid 19 any how serious this is. We all know that many people are tired of hearing and listening about the pandemic whether is on social media or the news; but what people don't know is that there is much more than just wearing a mask and keep social distance. It's also about keeping yourself, your loved ones and those around you safe; and most importantly help the front-line workers and the health care professionals fight the virus by obeying the CDC guidelines. There has also been other type of virus that are related to covid 19 in which it's more contagious and it spreads from person to person. Many people act like if covid 19 is gone and act like the vaccines will keep them safe; but we should still maintain our distance and keep wearing masks. So, it's not just about wearing a mask and maintain our distance but it's also about keeping everyone safe and help protect our community by working together to stop the spread of covid 19 and the other virus related to this one. So many people have died with the pandemic and now the new virus that is related to covid have killed some people as well. So, for this project I created four posters like I mentioned above and I invited my family to join me and hold the sign by my neighborhood. We stayed there and hold the posters while people saw as they were passing by. All of us stayed in that part of our neighborhood because a lot of people go there and there's never a day where that place is empty because it's always packed with people walking or jogging or possibly just chilling. Therefore, I thought that it was a good idea to create a series of posters and hold them as a sign of awareness in a public place where many people would see.
This issue is very important because as you can see the pandemic had claimed the lives of so many people and it continues to claim them. So, by raising awareness and creating advocacy for others we can help stop the issue that we are all facing. We can also help other people advocate for themselves by doing it together and gathering people as well. Raising awareness and making advocacy does help motivate people to seek justice and make a change because while someone is advocating other people might tend to agree and follow them into their steps. They might as well engage in activities that helps spread awareness for others people and like that they will keep getting views and followers. People may see and those who are struggling to spread awareness they can help them advocate and help them spread the message. So, yes spreading and advocating is a great way for people to get motivated and help do the same for others. "These were the posters that started all. We plastered them on the walls of SoHo in the middle of the night. A press release promised more to come, warning," "Simple facts will be spelled out; obvious conclusions can be drawn". (Guerrilla Girls 35) I chose this quote because it shows how a poster, performance, protests, actions etc. help raise awareness on a lot of issues because in this quote they are saying how they made a poster and put it out in public about woman artists not being in galleries and only showing 10% of women artists. So they made this poster and it seemed like it had woken up people and helped spread awareness about this issue and it must've worked out pretty well. So it is stating that by protesting or doing anything that can help spread awareness can make an issue come to light and help fight for change.
