Make Art / Stop AIDS, artists take action
MAKE ART/STOP AIDS is an international network of scholars, artists, and activists committed to ending the global AIDS epidemic. With more than 40 million people infected with HIV around the world, and with only approximately 1 million receiving state-of-the-art care, the need for such a network is urgent. MAKE ART/STOP AIDS is founded on the principle that artists are an essential part of anti-AIDS efforts. Artists are master communicators. The arts themselves carry enormous potential as tools of education and information-sharing. Thus, MAKE ART/STOP AIDS seeks to establish artists as key partners in AIDS interventions around the world. "Make Art/Stop AIDS" a traveling international exhibition debuting at the Fowler Museum at UCLA on Feb. 23, shows how artists around the world have responded to HIV/AIDS and how their work can raise awareness, inspire activism and ultimately help end the epidemic. The exhibition will be on display through June 15.
