The primary aim of the Harvard
University Arts Committee on AIDS (HUACA) is to generate Harvard
student, faculty and staff involvement in artistic projects addressing HIV infection and the AIDS
pandemic. These projects are focused around World AIDS day and the activities on Harvard-Radcliffe
AIDS Awareness Week (similar to Arts First):
Our goal is to educate and increase awareness about HIV and AIDS by encouraging the incorporation
of HIV/AIDS themes into arts projects;
The committee will assist and support students in the development of their own projects and help
identify sources of funding; we are not attempting to create projects but will serve as facilitators
and publicisits;
The role of this committee is to publicize, using an "umbrella" approach:
availability of space for projects;
the projects once they're confirmed;
We will make every effort to include the greater Cambridge and Boston communities in these events
and activities.
