Public Art Exhibit: "CoVIDA - Homage to Victims of the Pandemic" 

"CoVIDA - Homage to Victims of the Pandemic"
A Public Art Installation at Roger Morris Park by neighborhood artist Andrea Arroyo
CoVIDA, whose title combines “COVID” with “VIDA” (meaning “life” in Spanish), honors the people who have passed away from the pandemic, acknowledges the resilience of our community, and recognizes the courage of essential workers still on the front lines. While we reflect on the devastating loss of life occurring now, we look to the future with hope, and celebrate the life that is here and now.
Inspired by memorial traditions from around the world, the piece features stylized winged figures symbolizing freedom; the cityscape celebrates the healing of our city; and cempasúchitl flowers, papel picado, and ribbons evoke Day of the Dead altars, wish trees, prayer flags and memorial ribbons.
Names of victims, written onto ribbons by the artist or community volunteers, was incorporated into the piece throughout the duration of the installation.
