| Description: | In honor of World AIDS Day, the Fine Arts Library welcomes guest speaker Akinyi Wadende, a graduate fellow in education at Texas State University. Wadende will be joined by Moyo Okediji, professor of art history at UT Austin, in presenting "Kwe Mosiko: HIV/AIDS, Art and Activism," a multimedia presentation about the intersection of art and AIDS activism.
"Kwe Mosiko" is a concept among the ethnic Luo people of Kenya and Tanzania that celebrates beauty as a process of physical and emotional healing. By examining the intersections of beauty and healing in contemporary American art, modern European art and indigenous African art, the presenters will draw on art and activism as creative resources to combat endemic and epidemic aspects of HIV/AIDS. |
