The Many Faces of HIV/AIDS
I was part of an Art Project called "The
Many Faces of HIV / AIDS." It was created for people who feared the
disease and those who were positive. The whole idea was to create a
plaster face of a person who was positive. Then, during the art show,
patrons were asked to feel the masks and read the bios of the faces on
the wall. This was to get them used to touching someone with HIV/AIDS.
You wouldn't get the disease from touching a plaster face, so if you
applied it in real life, it would be the same concept. I feel people in
the world need a chance to show their compassion for one another. This
project was supposed to travel, but was dropped, and now the masks sit
in storage in Arizona. I am looking to start this project again, and
making it go. If anyone would like to help me, please contact me.
Always
