Community Forum: Housing as Prevention

6:30pm - 8:30pm Wednesday, November 14
HIV prevention isn't just about condoms and clean syringes. In order for these prevention tools to work, we must look at the ways that people are forced into high-risk environments. One of the most glaring reasons for the expanding HIV epidemic - despite decades of prevention messages - is what happens to people when they don't have stable housing. This forum will examine the connections between homelessness and HIV risk, demonstrate why HIV prevention doesn't work in a vacuum, and help us understand why societal injustices must be addressed if we are to see an end to the AIDS epidemic.

Two Men Talking

12pm - 1:30pm Friday, November 30
In 1974, in Johannesburg, South Africa, a teacher asked two 12-year-old schoolboys to tell each other a story. Murray Nossel and Paul Browde were the children in that exercise. Three decades later, Murray, an Academy Award nominated filmmaker, and Paul, a psychiatrist, are partners in Two Men Talking, a performance that demonstrates the healing power of stories. Two Men Talking is about friendship and listening. It is about apology and forgiveness and hatred and love. It is about fear and death and courage and life. With startling honesty, Paul and Murray talk of growing up white, middle class and privileged under apartheid. Their tale takes us from Johannesburg to New York and London, through their experiences of career struggles, coming out as gay, confronting AIDS, and finally their reunion in America. Two Men Talking is also about the power of storytelling. For twenty years, Murray Nossel and Paul Browde have devoted their careers to the field of personal and collective storytelling. Paul is a psychiatrist who uses storytelling in his clinical practice and research. Murray's specialty in narratives has informed his work as a clinical psychologist, university professor and Academy Award nominated documentary film maker. Together Paul and Murray have founded a company devoted to developing personal storytelling as a method for generating individual, group and social evolution. To commemorate World AIDS Day, Paul and Murray will perform sections of their unscripted play, discuss their experiences with HIV/AIDS on a personal level, and explore how storytelling can be used as a tool to heal. Lunch will be served Please RSVP to Benaifer Bhadha (bbhadha@sorosny.org)

This event will serve two purposes. The first is to utilize a creative modem that provides prevention education in a fun, culturally appropriate way. The second is to celebrate members of Atlanta community who are role models and leaders in community mobilization and HIV/STD Prevention. We hope to have you join us as we commemorate this experience and celebrate the youth in the community. This ball will take place December 2nd, 2007 at The Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia. This weekend is not only special because of our ball, but its significance reaches outward as it is also the weekend of World AIDS Day as well as the HIV Prevention Conference hosted by the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
