Fight Apathy is more than a tour, it’s a movement.
The Fight Apathy Tour is a music and poetry production aimed at igniting a social consciousness surrounding issues of race, gender and sexuality through the lens of HIV/AIDS.
Five artists combine their talents to present a socially conscious, emotionally charged evening on how HIV/AIDS and the issues intrinsic to the pandemic affect individual students, their community, country and world.
Acoustic melodies and jazz-inflected vocals weave seamlessly with emotionally pure poetry to change the way people view the HIV/AIDS epidemic and create an environment where students feel comfortable talking about HIV/AIDS and the surrounding topics- sex, race, gender, drug use, poverty, stigma and prevention methods.
