SUMMARY:Day With(out) Art / World AIDS Day
DESCRIPTION:
 The Michigan State University Museum marks Day 
 With(out) Art / World AIDS Day, on Saturday, 
 Dec. 1 with a special showing from its Siyazama 
 collection, a South African arts project 
 using traditional arts in health education and 
 HIV/AIDS prevention.\n
  \n
 Day With(out) Art 
 began on Dec. 1, 1989, as a national day of action 
 and mourning in response to the AIDS crisis. 
 To make the public more aware of how AIDS 
 can touch everyone, many galleries and museums 
 shut down for a day to symbolize absence 
 and loss. Over the years, rather than closing 
 down on Dec. 1, Day With(out) Art programs 
 have worked to highlight more proactive educational 
 programming related to AIDS education, 
 joining with World AIDS Day.\n
  \n
 On exhibit 
 will be a new acquisition to the MSU Museum collections, 
 a Story Vase, embellished with a 
 beaded message written by bead artist Lobolile 
 Ximba of South Africa. The story vases tell 
 the personal stories of Lobolile and other South 
 African women who live in remote villages 
 of KwaZulu-Natal.  They are all members of 
 the Siyazama Project, a collective of women who 
 work with traditional bead craft.\n
