The “Graying of AIDS: Off The Wall” studio was conceived to amplify the pressing dialogue inspired by the work of New York-based team Katja Heinemann and Naomi Schegloff and their national public awareness campaign, The Graying of AIDS. As the first and only broad-based education and prevention effort dedicated to the issues of older adults and HIV/AIDS, The Graying of AIDS campaign is bringing a vital public consciousness to the forefront, educating health care and social service professionals about the risks, the damaging stigmas, and the inspiring truths associated with older adults and HIV/AIDS in our world today. Faculty: Brian Rea.
