Art Academy Students Ask for Donated Bras for Breast Cancer Awareness Project
Students of the Art Academy of Latvia are collecting donated bras for art objects that will form the "Flag of Life – FOR BREASTS". The project focuses on early breast cancer diagnosis and health literacy.
Students of the Art Academy of Latvia (LMA) are asking people to donate bras for art objects that will be assembled into the "Flag of Life – FOR BREASTS". The initiative was announced by "Vita", a support association for breast cancer patients.
Aim of the project
The project aims to use art and the creative involvement of patients to draw the widest possible public attention to women's health, early diagnosis of breast cancer and health literacy across all generations. In this way, the organisers hope to reduce fear of cancer.
How to take part
Bras can be dropped off until 13 November in the corridor on the first floor of the academy. White, beige or pink bras are accepted.
Two events are also planned at which the bras will be worked on:
- on 13 November, from 10:00 to 20:00, a bra-painting session will take place;
- on 20 November, from 10:00 to 20:00, a bra-sewing workshop will be held.
Both events will take place in room 76 of the academy, and participants must register in advance.
