Smokey D is a Downtown Eastside (DTES) Vancouver graffiti artist, using visual storytelling to share important messages with and on behalf of his community. Smokey’s second street art piece on hepatitis C, done in collaboration with the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC), BC Hepatitis Network, and AbbVie, captures experiences of people with lived and living experience to share about hep C and that current treatment is a cure.
The full mural was revealed at an event on Friday, November 17th at 312 Main, which included group art, hepatitis C testing, and other healthcare services alongside Vancouver Urban Health Centre and Vancouver Infectious Diseases Centre.
Thank you to Smokey D, Nat Canuel, Sofia Bartlett and the BCCDC, Overdose Prevention Society, Kyle Shipman, and AbbVie for making this project possible.
