- 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.

- Description
- Tatiana Belenkaya explains how COVID has affected her. She talks about its impact on her work, particularly regrading a trial in Chicago, and shares how it has been difficult to do work and schooling from home. However, she has found nature to be a positive sustaining force, as well as painting and alcohol. Tatiana hopes that the pandemic will spark systematic change, particularly in regards to decoupling healthcare from employment. “This crisis should be a call to action to mobilize people to pass laws that entitle everybody to good care.” This video is part of the Humanities Truck's From Me To You: A Covid-19 Oral History Project. https://humanitiestruck.com/frommetoyou/
