CALIFORNIA | Nondegree Course/Program
Arts Activism and AIDS Awareness courses and programs
Department of World Arts and Cultures
Art | Global Health Center
University of California, Los Angeles
Several courses and programs to train UCLA students in arts activism and AIDS awareness. Examples of courses: “Make Art/ Stop AIDS,” taught by Professor David Gere, teaches students about art as a tool in AIDS prevention and treatment efforts through “collaborative theory-in-action projects.” “AIDS Performance Team,” guest taught by South African performance artist Pieter-Dirk Uys, teaches students techniques for devising anti-AIDS theater, such as satire, truth-telling and improvisation; culminates in a collectively created performance for World AIDS Day. Examples of programs: “AMP it up!” brings together UCLA students, high school students and community centers for “arts-based, multiple-intervention, peer-education” (AMP). The global network, Make Art/ Stop AIDS, is also based in UCLA’s Art | Global Health Center.
