Haring criticized the avoidance of social issues such as AIDS through a piece called "Rebel with Many Causes" (1989) that revolves around a theme of "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil". During the last week of November, Haring painted a mural at the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena for "A Day Without Art". The mural was commemorated on December 1, the second annual AIDS Awareness Day. He commemorated the mural on December 1, World AIDS Day, and told the "Los Angeles Times": "My life is my art, it's intertwined...When AIDS became a reality in terms of my life, it started becoming a subject in my paintings. The more it affected my life the more it affected my work." In 1989/1990, Haring appeared in Rosa von Praunheim's widely acclaimed film "Silence = Death" about gay artists in New York City fighting for the rights of AIDS sufferers.
