Day With(out) Art
In recognition of World Aids Day, the University of Michigan Museum of Art, along with many other arts institutions, held its "Day With(out) Art."
According to reports (UNAIDS), the number of HIV+ people continues to rise at a high rate, most markedly in Southeast and Central Asia (in some areas over 50% increase in the last two years) and in Eastern Europe. Women and children are especially high risk populations in these areas. The situation is rather alarming, particularly considering that drug treatments have increased since the disease was first documented. Since 1981 more than 20 million people have died of AIDS.

A graduate student in music and anthropology writing a dissertation about music in Moravia, the eastern third of the Czech Republic. At some point, the Czech Republic's "second city" (that would be Brno) captured my attention, and I've since been blogging about events, arts, music, and other stuff—basically whatever interests me in and around the cityscape. I'm not living in Brno now, but I keep up with the cultural pulse from afar as best I can.
