Fine Arts Proudly Hosts AIDS Memorial Quilt Panels for World AIDS Day

World AIDS Day is December 1st

Around the world nearly 36 million people are living with HIV. The virus continues to be a major public health issue, having claimed the lives of more than 39 million people since 1981. World AIDS Day is December 1st.

In June 1987, a group of strangers in San Francisco gathered to remember the names and lives of their loved ones that they feared history would forget. Their loved ones would be remembered with the first quilt panel, and soon their voices would swell to tens of thousands, calling for compassion and action in the age of HIV/AIDS.

The whole AIDS Memorial Quilt now consists of nearly 50,000 panels honoring people who have died from AIDS. Because of the huge size, it is no longer possible to display the whole quilt in a single location at once. UNM Truman Health Services and the Names Project Foundation are honored to display some of the voices of the people who lost their lives in the struggle against HIV/AIDS for World AIDS Day on the UNM campus. In the effort to continue to raise awareness, and to fight prejudice and stigma, panels from the Quilt will be on display at UNM in the Center for the Arts lobby and the Department of Art building.

“From Sardinia to New Mexico: Multipart Singing as Cultural
Exchange” (15 minutes)

A Documentary by Kristina Jacobsen, commission

From Sardinia to New Mexico explores an experience in cultural exchange between New Mexico (United States) and Sardinia. The 15-minute documentary follows the interaction between students at the University of New Mexico and singers from various Sardinian towns, reflecting on how learning traditional singing can act as a bridge for intercultural understanding. Through a personal and analytical approach, the film narrates a story of sharing and growth through the experience of oral tradition music and transmission..

“MANTÈNNERE – Holding the Sacred Sound” (55 minutes)

A documentary by Diego Pani

“The documentary Mantènnere explores the cultural and social significance of traditional multipart singing in Santu Lussurgiu, Sardinia, focusing on the transmission of this practice between two generations of singers. The 55-minute documentary follows the Cuncordu ’e su Rosariu, a singing group which has accompanied Holy Week rituals since the 1970s, and Sos Zovanos de Su Rosariu, a younger group gradually assuming this role. Set against the backdrop of the mediatization of traditional music, the film highlights the impact of numerous research campaigns conducted in the village from the 1980s to the present, which have shaped the evolving identity of these musical traditions. Told fromthe perspective of a Sardinian ethnomusicologist from this village,, the film captures the intimate emotional connection to these sacred singing practices. Mantènnere ultimately examines how ritual, music-making, and community are interwoven, questioning how tradition is preserved and transformed in the face of external scholarly and media influences.”
