WHAT TO EXPECT
LENGTH: 60 minutes
Whether you want to leave your mics on or engage with your group in the chatbox, this stimulating discussion explores how HIV artivists use self-portraits to depict this epidemic, and the impact it has had on their lives.
This virtual program uses writing and reflection-based activities to explore the themes of Through Positive Eyes and the compelling images that make up the collaborative photo-storytelling project.
Powerful stories bring powerful topics – including sexuality, drugs, abuse, and experiencing intolerance that may not be suitable for some. If you have any questions, please email us at [email protected].
