World AIDS Day events planned
By Gigi Wood
Iowa City Press-Citizen
People around the world will be pausing today in observance of World AIDS Day.
The annual day of response and mourning has grown in visibility and stature since it first was observed in 1989, and today the University of Iowa Museum of Art and the Iowa Center for AIDS Resource and Education will hold a Day With(out) Art.
The museum will display four panels from the Names Project AIDS quilt and offer activities from 1 to 4 p.m. Volunteers will recite names of AIDS casualties from Iowa and the art community, while the Court Hill Consort Quintet plays from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Various participants affected by HIV have been invited to read their stories featured in the book "HIV: Humanity in Verse" at 2:30 p.m.
ICARE is a United Way nonprofit social-service agency that provides HIV prevention and education services and assistance to individuals who are HIV-positive and their families. The event is free.
Those activities will be followed Monday night by an appearance by Bono, lead singer for the famed rock band U2, actress Ashley Judd and African activists at the Iowa Memorial Union. Tickets to the event have been distributed and do not guarantee event-goers a seat in the IMU Main Lounge.
Bono is on a seven-day, seven-state tour of the Midwest to spread awareness about the AIDS epidemic, especially in South Africa, where 29.4 million people are estimated to be living with AIDS or HIV. After visiting Iowa City, the group will travel Tuesday to Waterloo and Chicago and continue on to Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee.
Bono also will invade the airways today. MTV will show "Diary of Bono and Chris Tucker: Aiding Africa," at 6:30 a.m. today. An interview of the Irish singer will appear from 8 to 9 p.m. today on the Larry King Live Show on CNN after Bono speaks at the University of Nebraska earlier in the day. Both talks are about AIDS. Bono founded Debt, AIDS, Trade in Africa, an organization that aims to raise awareness about the issues in Africa: unpaid debts, spread of AIDS and trade rules.
