December 1 at 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM
Art can move us—and move us to act. This World AIDS Day, join the UCLA Art & Global Health Center to celebrate 20 years of art and activism.
Since 2006, the Center has brought creative expression into the fight against HIV stigma and health inequity. We’re gathering to honor the people who have made this work possible and build connections that will carry it forward.
Through activist performances, films, and a panel discussion, we’ll explore how art opens difficult conversations and brings people into movements for change. The evening will connect projects from across the Center’s history to their next chapters:
- Through Positive Eyes, a global photo-storytelling project by and for people living with HIV and AIDS.
- Sex Squad, which brings original performances and inclusive sexual health education to young people.
- Up to Us, a film and workshop initiative made by and designed especially for youth impacted by the justice system.
- Valentine Toya LeGrand, an Afrofuturist mini-series and companion comic celebrating Haitian women heroes and the power to shape our own futures.
Bring your ideas and your commitment to a future free of HIV stigma. Help build a community whose work continues long after World AIDS Day.
