World Community Arts Day (Feb 17): Looking for Arts Addressing HIV/AIDS

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

I'm working to enlist events for World Community Arts Day, being held "live" and on the Internet on February 17, 2009. A number of groups and individuals from around the world have signed up to participate, and you can see more at the url below.

http://www.communiversity.org.uk/worldcommunityartsday.htm

Members of ActALIVE (www.actalive.org), an international coalition of individuals and organizations using arts and media to address HIV/AIDS and the MDGs, will be taking part. It would be inspiring and illuminating for others using arts to address HIV/AIDS and health issues to take part.

Please contact me (kaippg@...) or the head organizer of WCAD, Crummy, who can be reached at andrewcrummy@... or andrew@....

One thing the organizers are working on is a series of radio and audio events. An Internet radio station based in Northern Ireland, Homely Planet (www.homelyplanet.org), will be developing a special broadcast for the day

Any ideas for an audio collaboration for radio are welcome. Something simple would be fine: for example, someone from Northern Ireland could email their own poem to someone in Kenya, who could record themselves reading it out for broadcast. And other way around.

People can email MP3's to Darren Ferguson, Homely Planet Team, at this gmail address: homelyplanet@....

Please join us in celebrating World Community Arts Day on February 17th! Thanks so much!
