Join health researcher and poet Bakita Kasadha, curator Adam Rose, photographer Gideon Mendel, and advocate and activist Angelina Namiba for a panel discussion exploring stories of protest and intimacy in our new exhibition display, ‘Tenderness and Rage’.
From the UK’s AIDS epidemic in the 1980s and 1990s to global experiences of HIV today, they’ll discuss everyday acts of care and activists’ fights for dignity, rights and equitable access to treatment.
Adam will take us behind the scenes of the display, exploring the importance of sharing these stories today. Angelina will share insights from three decades of experience in the HIV sector, and her work as founder of 4M Network of Mentor Mothers living with HIV.
Gideon will reflect on two photographic projects at the heart of the display:
‘The Ward’ documents the lives of patients on AIDS wards in 1990s London
‘Through Positive Eyes’ shares the stories of people living with HIV worldwide today.
You’ll have the chance to ask questions after the panel discussion.
