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
