The Art for Action festival will use art to create and disseminate positive messages, which can increase knowledge on HIV/AIDS prevention and encourage positive attitudes towards people living with AIDS and those affected by the disease.  This year’s theme is ‘Women and Girls in the Face of HIV/AIDS’.
 

Festival Objectives

•  Mobilise and engage urban youth from low-income communities on HIV/AIDS;

•  Establish an innovative platform for the creation and dissemination of a broad range of ideas and experiences about HIV/AIDS, especially as it affects women and girls;

• Strengthen partnerships between youth, artists, people living with HIV/AIDS, government and non-government organisations working on HIV/AIDS, and bilateral and multilateral agencies fighting HIV/AIDS in order to pay particular attention to the informal settlements in cities and towns; and,

• Support contemporary art in Kenya and East Africa in general.
