[Viva] CAHR closing ceremony

Fri Apr 19 21:36:45 PDT 2013

I just caught up with this string of comments. It doesn’t surprise me that it was stolen. It was an incredible and meaningful piece of art. Sometimes we don’t value the importance of our own work the way it should be. It is actually a priceless piece.  Has anyone heard back from Neora, I see her on Monday if not, I will bring it up?

Let me know, please

Shannon

I sure hope it shows up – It is an AWESOME piece of art.

Close call for you too Peg!  Yikes.  Sounds like those hotel employees are overly efficient.

Margarite,

There is a fellow named JP who works at the hotel and saved the stem of the cocktail glass from being thrown away.  I packed up the sculpture after the closing ceremonies but the stem got left behind.  JP works for the Hotel and he noticed that it was not trash a nd I was able to recover it on Monday. Please ask the Hotel to contact him.

I am a bit concerned because of when the collage disappeared.  It was when the conference was still ongoing. Have you sent messages to the Conference organizers through Neora Pick, as well as the hotel Conference team?  I am sure you have, but just in case ...  Love  -peg

We have a mystery!

Sometime between Saturday evening and Sunday morning the collage by the Women's HIV University disappeared. I hope it was misplaced by the hotel. We checked everywhere and left our contact info in case it surfaces. But it is very strange since it is too big to just carry out and who would want it anyways? 

If anyone has any ideas where it might have gone ???

Also ... the photo exhibit was powerful too.

Thanks to the sensitive photographers for their view.

Sadly,

Margarite

I too was so happy to be with and be surrounded by so many wonderful positive women. Thanks everyone for your strength and passion. 

I know that it takes a lot of energy for us to simply show up.  We did!  In numbers and in force!!

Now take some time to pamper yourselves and recover.  I am speaking also to myself as I arrived back in Victoria with a broken truck and a head cold.  The truck will get fixed (or not) and the head cold will go away in a couple of days.  Hugs to all  -peg

I very much echo the appreciation to Alana for the closing ceremony - incredible.

I also want to acknowledge the power of the art by positive women that was displayed at CAHR. Peggy's "This isn't a Cocktail Party" , the criminalization collage by Women's HIV University and Alana's suitcase installation.  All were very powerful and brought the invaluable voices of PHAs into the scientific research world!
Congrats on your work and gratitude to you all for the creative expression of your truth through art.

Many great moments, presentations and networking over the last 4 days at the CAHR conference but I especially want to thank Alana for closing the conference. That was very courageous. Alana had scientists, health care providers, community workers and PLHA's all holding hands in a big circle united for the same cause.

  Beautiful!!!

  Again Thank you!

  Margarite
