The JOY of Art
World AIDS Day Exhibit
Cross-Cultural Center Conference Room
  
This exhibit presents demographical data collected by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Center for HIV/AIDS. The full census report analyzes the affects of HIV/AIDS in various communities based on gender, ethnicity, and sexuality. The exhibit will be on display until the end of Fall Quarter 2013.
The Alcatraz Indian Occupation
Cross-Cultural Center Hallway
  
The exhibit is photo-documentation of the 1969-1971 occupation of Alcatraz Island by Native American & Indian communities after the U.S. federal government ended usage of the facilities on the island. The Native American & Indian communities fought for the deed of the island to be returned to them so they could ultimately establish a cultural center and Indian university. Eventually, the federal government shut down electric power and cut off the fresh water supply to the island. The exhibit will be on display until the end of Fall Quarter 2013.
