How do we remix an old recipe to remove structural barriers to health equity hard-baked into our society?

This will be a multi-sensory show and seminar with interactive lectures, games, music, art, tastes, and performances.

It will be presented by Emergency Medicine Remix (EM Remix), A Health Literacy Movement founded by four academic emergency physicians of color whose mission is to combat health inequities through science, education, and music.

EM Remix's philosophy and approach:

Currently, in Atlanta and beyond, healthcare exists in an unsustainable model fueled by fear, ignorance, and profit. African Americans, Latinx, and poor communities suffer disproportionally under this current model. The events of 2020 could not have highlighted this emergency more clearly. We strongly believe that our movement can change our community and beyond in the same way literacy, the abolitionist movement, and the civil rights movement changed the lives of Africans in America.

Historically, these movements have each been choreographed to music that spread the message of change -Abolition and the Negro Spiritual, The Harlem Renaissance and Jazz, Civil Rights, and Soul Music. We are now at an inflection point. We are looking to leverage the arts, media, and education to make a change in a manner that happens only once or twice in a generation. In the 1960's it was called Motown. In the 21st century, it will be called EM Remix. Just as Guttenberg's printing press, Marconi's Radio, the motion picture, television, the internet, and social media forever changed how human beings communicate and learn, Emergency Medicine Remix is the next choreographed march in the civil rights movement of the 21st, health equity.

This is a free event and is presented as part of the Science Gallery Atlanta JUSTICE exhibition season.
