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.
A chill-out space is available if you’d like to take a break from the activities to rest or relax. It will have low lighting, comfortable seating, cushions, mats and sensory aids such as ear defenders and toys.
Ticket holders for the in-venue event will have access to the display from 18:00 and a bar from 18:30, before the discussion starts at 19:00. The event will also be live-streamed and recorded – book an online ticket below to receive information on how to join us online.
