Polishing this pendant today I realized I’d been wearing it for nearly 20 years. Unfortunately, I’ve lost the artist’s name.
Urban Sketchers is one of my favourite new blogs to see. A few years ago I spent four weeks doing sketches on buses when I went to have bloods done at the hospital every Monday morning. Like this woman I felt very alone. Since then I’ve been fortunate to start making friends and feel a whole let less alone - I have so much to be grateful for.

The Body: Visual AIDS Day With(out) Art
In 1997 we suggested Day Without Art become a Day WITH Art, to recognize and promote increased programming of cultural events that draw attention to the continuing pandemic. Though “the name was retained as a metaphor for the chilling possibility of a future day without art or artists”, we added parentheses to the program title, Day With(out) Art, to highlight the proactive programming of art projects by artists living with HIV/AIDS, and art about AIDS, that were taking place around the world. It had become clear that active interventions within the annual program were far more effective than actions to negate or reduce the programs of cultural centers.
