HIV Plus Statement:
In recognition of the 20th anniversary of World AIDS Day and the corresponding Day With(out) Art, HIV Plus magazine wanted to honor the visionaries who’ve brought -- and those who continue to bring -- beauty to our world. We’ve collaborated with the organization Visual AIDS to curate this special anniversary exhibit, which we call Salute. The 20 works we selected represent a wide range of artistic forms -- paintings, drawings, sculpture, posters, photography, collages, and mixed media. This variety is a mirror of the vast diversity of the pandemic and of the people affected by HIV -- men, women, and children; mothers, fathers, daughters, and sons; gays, straights, and bisexuals; the old and the young; the rich and the poor; and people of all colors and ethnicities....But all of the pieces are poignant lessons on what it truly means -- on a personal and individual level -- to be living with or affected by HIV.
HIV Plus is dedicated to helping our readers lead their fullest life possible by giving them tips, tools, and personal stories that motivate them to make the best of their friendships and relationships, work and leisure time, health care, and overall sense of well-being. By helping our readers seek out their most rewarding and fulfilling experiences and to improve their outlook in everything they do -- to live out their lives above and beyond being HIV-positive -- they get the holistic effect of HIV Plus's Health+Spirit+Culture+Life focus. Please check out the November/December issue of HIV Plus for an additional story on Visual AIDS titled “Art for Everyone, Art Forever” by Benjamin Ryan.
