Shahidul Alam, Dayanita Singh and Mike Abrahams, three photographers of outstanding international reputation worked across several locations in India and Bangladesh, creating a body of work which reveals the human and personal stories of those at the heart of the epidemic in India and Bangladesh. The full exhibition of Positive Lives features work by 17 leading photographers from around the world. Countries represented include South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, the United States and Britain. This work will be displayed alongside the new work from India and Bangladesh. Following the exhibition in Dhaka, Positive Lives will tour India and will premier in Kuala Lampur and Sydney in 1999. The new 'chapters' of Positive Lives represent a wide range of peoples and themes. Each chapter represents a different and unique viewpoint of those affected by and working within HIV epidemic. Themes include the family, missing generations, commercial sex workers and clients, peer educators, men who have sex with men, health care, children, the homeless, drug use and more. The approach is respectful to the subjects and is complex and multi-layered, representing many different social economic and emotional issues pertinent to the HIV pandemic. |
