It's Up 2 You!
Blending art, culture, and health education, the It's Up 2 You! exhibit introduces visitors to diabetes awareness through a format that is both engaging and accessible.
The exhibit was originally developed through a collaboration at the Arizona State Museum, where community members, educators, and university representatives came together to make a traveling health exhibit more locally relevant. The result was It’s Up 2 You!, a comic book centered around Samantha, a teenage skateboarder who encourages her friends to make healthier choices. The story blends everyday experiences with cultural perspectives, including a dream sequence featuring a Tohono O’odham elder who connects traditional ways of living with long-term health and the realities of diabetes.
The comic highlights communities that are disproportionately affected by type 2 diabetes, including O’odham, Hispanic, and Yaqui populations, while emphasizing that prevention and lifestyle choices are within reach. It concludes with clear, educational messaging, including facts and common myths about diabetes, reinforcing the idea that small, intentional choices can have a lasting impact.
