Funded by a grant from Swarthmore College, Our Health, Our Arts is a six-session summer program which will take a look at public policies, research, and other literature on issues related to HIV/AIDS (including but not limited to immigration, youth, health care, and community health) and at political uses of the visual arts as a tool for community education. The program will focus specifically on the Asian Pacific American communities of New York City. This summer, participants will take art classes, have serious discussions, and develop individual art projects that will be completed in the fall.
