“Our Lives, Artists and Allies”

 “Art has a way of reaching into our hearts and 

inspiring us to connect to the humanity within us all”  

 

 

 

We are a small group of students who are currently looking for HIV positive
artists to submit photos of their work for display in an upcoming art show.


We believe: 


Ø  When created at a community level, art is an accessible way of getting
the message out.

Ø  Art is a powerful form of story telling, and that everyone’s story is
unique and of equal value. 

Ø  That by sharing our lives and experiences through our art, we can help to
create a more inclusive and tolerant society.

Ø   That art can be therapeutic process and can be an important part of
healing our bodies’ minds and spirits. 

Ø  That we are much more than our illness and our struggles.

Goals:


Ø  To celebrate our lives and experiences. 


Ø  To challenge stigma.


Ø  To support HIV pos artists to generate extra income.


Ø  To support local arts programs within the ASO community.


Ø  To encourage inclusiveness and connection.


We would ask that submissions include a high resolution photo of your work
along with a short bio, including as much or as little about your piece and
yourself as you would like to share, to  <mailto:becparry65 at gmail.com>
becparry65 at gmail.com. Or you can call Rebeccah at 604-375-4843.  

 

Deadline for submissions will be January 20th 2011.

 

Our Lives Artists and Allies is a project of the 

Community Capacity Building Certificate course at SFU.
