About the Series

Whitman-Walker Health is proud to partner with Social Arts and Culture Activists (SAAC) to present Diabetes In Color—a dynamic series of community activations that blend art, culture, and wellness. Grounded in “artivism,” this initiative reimagines diabetes education and prevention by centering lived experiences, cultural expression, and accessible health practices.

Through this partnership, we are creating intentional spaces for community members to engage in healing, movement, creativity, and connection—all while learning practical tools to support long-term wellness.
