Written by David WhiteThis is great work. You’re not getting content like this in your ‘paper.
Spend a few minutes please listening to and looking at a few personal stories, it’s worth your while.
Gideon Mendel’s portraits are wonderful, as ever, but the real power comes from the work of the individuals.
Powerful, important work with a great interface.
From the website:
We believe that photography can be a force for change.
Through Positive Eyes is an attempt to address key themes of the AIDS epidemic: widespread stigma, extreme social inequality, and limited access to lifesaving medication. The project is based on the belief that challenging stigma against people living with HIV/AIDS is the most effective method for combating the epidemic—and that art is a powerful way to do this. Over the next two years HIV-positive people in six countries and on five continents will take part in this unique initiative, creating powerful personal photo essays. From these images, we will create local and international advocacy materials including exhibitions, short films, a book, and this website.
