Visual Works of a POSITIVE Mind
Artists are gifted with an innate ability to affect, educate
and move people. Using visual media to respond to how HIV/
AIDS has affected themselves and their communities, artists
have been at the forefront of the AIDS movement since its
beginnings. Visual works inspire dialogue and bring recognition
to such issues as: access to treatment, political and social
dimensions bf HIV, stigma and discrimination. Numerous
works are on display in the Global Village - Visual Gallery and
throughout the galleries in the City of Toronto.
