A photo exhibition showing that life for people living with virus is still life.
It is all too often assumed that once a person tests HIV positive they are destined to lead a life of pain, rejection, loneliness and bodily degradation. Developed in collaboration with VSO Namibia, Still Life set out with the aim to challenge this negative image by training people living with the virus in the art of photography so that they could document the positive events that go on in their lives.
By December 2007, a selection of the best photographs had been made, and a still life exhibition was launched on 5th December at Europa House in Windhoek. The exhibition will be travelling throughout Namibia over 2008. A birthday calender using the photos is also available.
