Proposal for World AIDS Day Student Artwork
Goals
1. Increase awareness of HIV
2. Increase student testing
3. Promote safer sex practices
Strategy
1. Inclusion of student artists
2. Active communication with various student organizations
Objective
1. Recruit up to 15 UNM student (graduate or undergraduate) artists to design and create their own interpretations of HIV
a. Own interpretation of HIV: what does HIV mean to that student personally. A really powerful example is Orphan Tower. But we do not want to restrict any artists beyond the focus of the artwork being HIV/AIDS related.
i. The Orphan Tower features 634 beaded cloth dolls, made by Syrazama Project bead workers to provide a collect image of the impact of the epidemic.
2. Display artwork from the 1st or the 2nd of December to the 13th or 14th of December
3. Display an AIDS quilt along with the artwork
Tactics
1. Send out message written below to art department listservs
2. Find space to hang quilt and display artwork
a. Space must have a wall that is 12’x12’
b. Space must be locked on the weekends
c. May need someone watching the artwork everyday (designate times at which the gallery will be open)
d. High traffic area like the Student Art Gallery in the SUB would be ideal
3. Provide incentive to art students to participate ($10 cards)
a. Find interested students
4. Find art professor to sponsor the event (Potentially but not necessary)
a. Their role will be supporting us as the point of contact for the students potential
Other Potential Events for World AIDS Day
1. Besides in the requested art gallery, AIDS Quilt panels will be hung in the Dominici (2) and in the SUB (2)
2. The event will either be a student music ensemble or the Gay Men’s Choir (depending on their availability)
Listserv Letter
Attention UNM Fine Arts Department,
We at UNM Truman Health Services wish to put on an art exhibition for World AIDS Day (December 1st) this year. We are searching for up to 15 students to create their own creative interpretation of HIV, its affects on them personally, or how it has affected their community. All mediums are welcome, but the size of a piece may be limited. We plan on unveiling the artwork at an event on December 2nd and then displaying the artwork in a campus gallery (yet to be determined). The student artwork will be showed along side an AIDS Quilt from the 2nd-13th of December. All students who participate will receive a $10 gift card.
Every year between 50,000-55,000 people contract HIV in the U.S. Approximately 1.1 million people have HIV, and at the end of 2010, an estimated 487,692 persons in the United States were living with an AIDS diagnosis. In 2010, the estimated number of deaths of persons ever receiving a diagnosis of AIDS in the United States was 15,529. Approximately 1 in 5 people do not know they are HIV positive. The World AIDS Day theme has and will always be “Getting to Zero”. We want HIV transmission to reach zero and for the plague to finally end.
For more information or if you wish to participate contact UNM Truman Health Services outreach at (505) 925-7286 or email us at ajquintana@unmmg.org.
Attached is a picture of “The Orphan Tower.” The Orphan Tower features 634 beaded cloth dolls, made by Syrazama Project bead workers to provide a collective image of the impact of the epidemic. Dannhauser Village, located in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, is home to 634 young children orphaned by AIDS. We hope it inspires you as it does us.
Sincerely,
UNM Truman Health Services
