- Ashlie Gorman Interview, October 18, 2020
- Date

- Creator
- Ashlie Gorman; Alexis Zilen
- Description
- The idea of a “new normal” has become common rhetoric within the United States as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This new normal includes not only updated health consciousness but larger structural transformations in economics and politics. This project will focus on a few microcosms of transformation; the rise of unemployment and the impact of the creative arts, and the effects of mental health during the ongoing pandemic. Overall, this interview between Ashlie Gorman and Alexis Zilen will provide insight into the new normal and the transformation of American creative culture during the pandemic.
