SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:"Siyazama: Traditional Arts, Education, and AIDS in South Africa"
DESCRIPTION:"\rThroughout the world art has long been used as a tool for cultural, social, and economic change. In South Africa many educators and activists used performing and visual arts in the successful anti-apartheid movement. Now arts are being used there to educate individuals about the realities of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. This exhibition explores how traditional knowledge and skills are used to address contemporary issues in South Africa. It showcases the Siyazama (Zulu for \"we are trying\") Project, an arts education project based in KwaZulu Natal which uses traditional crafts to raise awareness about AIDS. Over 100 pieces in this exhibit - including indigenous traditional art forms such as beadwork, dollmaking, basketry and wirework - reveal how South African artists are using their work to educate others as well as to cope with the devastating effects of HIV/AIDS in their own lives and communities. \r\rFor more information, visit the Michigan State University Museum's overview of the Siyazama exhibit (external link).\r"
