Life Beats Workshop: ARTS. Journalism. HIV (South Africa)

Deadline: 25 - 26 August 2011

Calling all journalists & performing arts writers. Hone your skills and learn more about writing about HIV and the performing arts.

Writing about HIV has enabled journalists to ask pertinent questions about political leadership, service delivery and human rights. But HIV is also a story about the human spirit-one that is often told through the performing arts. Journalists who write about these creative processes can cover an entirely different side of the epidemic.

This year we once again team up with Drama For Life for the second Life Beats workshop taking place on the 25 and 26 August 2011 at the Wits Journalism Department. The two day workshop will be an exploration of the intersection of Arts Journalism and HIV and will also be hosted in conjunction with the annual dramaforlife festival.

Attendance to the workshop is free of charge. To RSVP for the event send an email to meyer@anovahealth.co.za by no later than the 23 August 2011.
