#ARTforHealth

 


 

On 10 October the Bolshoi Theatre of Belarus and the Rudolf Nureyev Foundation have signed a memorandum of understanding with UNAIDS in Belarus. On the same day, the theatre held a press conference dedicated to the start of the information campaign #ARTforHealth, which is timed to the World AIDS Day (1 December).

 

The press conference featured: the general director of the Bolshoi Theatre of Belarus Vladimir Gridyushko; deputy general director of the theatre Svetlana Kaziulina; president of the Nureyev Foundation Claude Blum, regional director of  Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) for Eastern Europe and Central Asia Vinay Saldanha; UNAIDS representative in the Republic of Belarus Vera Ilyenkova; First Deputy Minister of Healthcare Dmitry Pinevich; Head of Multilateral Diplomacy and Global Partnership Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Aleksandr Opimakh; CEO of “Kvitki Bel” LLC Alexander Kasinsky, Сhoreographer Aleksandra Tikhomirova, People’s Artist of Belarus Irina Eromkina and Honoured Artist of Belarus Anton Kravchenko.

 

#ARTforHealth is a campaign aimed at raising awareness about HIV infection and antiretroviral treatment opportunities, promoting the “Undetectable = untransmittable” (U=U)* message, and creating a cooperation model for government, private sector, civil society, international funds and UN system to implement joint social initiatives.

 

The campaign will be held from 10 October to 1 December and will include a series of workshops on HIV prevention, workshops for ballet admirers, a social media marathon, public screening of The White Crow directed by Ralph Fiennes, and charity fundraising. The campaign will end on December 1 at the Bolshoi Theatre with a photo exhibition in memory of Rudolf Nureyev and performance of Orr and Ora (staged by A. Tikhomirova, music by M. Krylov).

 

Anyone can participate in the campaign by purchasing a ticket for the performance at www.kvitki.by. Part of the funds will be transferred to the Ministry of Healthcare of the Republic of Belarus for helping people living with HIV.

 

*if a person with HIV gets regular treatment, the amount of virus in their blood drops to a minimum (so called “unidentifiable viral load”). HIV Infected people with unidentifiable viral load cannot transmit HIV to other people sexually: U=U “Undetectable = untransmittable”.
