MADaboutART MADaboutART was founded in 2001 to fight HIV using art and education. Pioneered in South Africa, our award-winning curriculum for children and youth uses art as the platform to ignite imagination, heal and achieve social change. Many young people living in poverty experience anger and low self-esteem; the endemic stigma of HIV creates isolation and hopelessness. Our programme of expressional art changes lives by breaking down stigma, healing emotional trauma and providing hope for the future.
