Here’s a quick preview of our latest participatory Graying of AIDS installation at AIDS2015. But first and foremost, a HUGE Thank You!! to all of our backers and supporters during the whirlwind, last minute Indiegogo fundraiser that made it all possible.

As usual, we were much too busy producing new work and interacting with visitors to our installation site to do a thorough job of documenting our process. But here are some snapshots, and to sum it all up: going half way around the word to continue our global series on aging and HIV was worth it in every way imaginable, and we can’t wait to share some of the amazing new portraits and interviews.

Naomi and I were able to work with 40 new participants, and now have 17 countries represented in this growing and evolving oral history archive. Besides Australia and New Zealand, we interviewed people between the ages of 50 and 69 from Canada, China, England, Ivory Coast, Jamaica, Malaysia, the US and Zambia, and representing several indigenous communities including Maori, Anishnawbe, and Gunditjmara Nation. And if you can read Chinese – or wield Google Translate – you can learn more about it all in Hong Kong’s Phoenix Weekly.
