FRAMING AIDS 2009FRAMING AIDS 2009, Queens’ Annual Observance of World AIDS Day Through the Arts, a program of QMAD, Queens Media Arts Development, presents Art Exhibition, Film Screenings, Panel Talks, and Online Multimedia Projectsin observance of World AIDS Awareness from November 29 through December 20, 2009 in various venues in Queens, NYC. (Queens, NY- November, 2009)- For the fifth consecutive year, QMAD, Queens Media Arts Development, has organized the presentation of FRAMING AIDS 2009, Queens’ Annual Observance of World AIDS Day Through The Arts. The three weeks multidisciplinary-cultural event consists of Art Exhibition, Film Screenings, Online Media Projects and community outreach programs created to raise awareness about the AIDS Pandemic in local communities of Queens and NYC at large. ART EXHIBITION: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, November 29 – December 20, hosted at The Queens Museum of Art: Partnership Gallery, will feature the work of local artists who were selected based on this year’s theme: the current Healthcare Reform discussed in Capitol Hill and its possible impact on people affected by HIV/AIDS. FRAMING AIDS 2009 Exhibition, “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly,” curated by Ada Cintron, is a multidisciplinary event including visual arts, performance, opera, dance and poetry. Cintron states that the exhibition “reflects on the socio=economic, political, moral aspects of the actual healthcare system in the United States, and addresses the fact that our society, in terms of healthcare, fails to adhere closely to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.” Hector Canonge, Director of the program, explains that “the program is timely because it raises present concerns about HIV/AIDS in an environment that leads to reflection and dialogue where artists, community groups, government agencies and organizations come together and share their voices.” Participating artists include : Caroline Falby, Jack Waters & Peter Cramer, Chin Chih Yang, and Jeremy Landau whose work articulate the differences between the American system and that of other countries; Charles Lum, Michael Vickers, Joyce McDonald, Hima B., Hartioun Tenguerian, and Carlos Rodríguez discuss how HIV/AIDS patients live in a system that looks to individuals as consumers rather than human beings. And last but not least, Margot Lovejoy, Micheline Klagsbrun & Ken Grossinger, LaThoriel Badenhousen and Priscilla Mercedes question the moral and ethical aspects of the controversial proposed reform. The Opening Reception, Sunday, November 29, 3 - 7 PM, will feature the poetry of Amir Parsa, opera by Gian-carla Tisera, dance byInbred Hybrid Collective and performance by Jack Waters & Peter Cramer. As part of the outreach program, the event also includes an on-site HIV testing installation facilitated by APICHA, Asian & Pacific Islander Coalition on HIV/AIDS. The Closing Event, Sunday, December 20, 5 – 7 PM, includes multimedia performances, and Artist Talk with participant guest artists, community AIDS activists, and representatives from APICHA and AIDS Center of Queens County, ACQC. --.
