Age, Survive and Thrive

23 Long Term Survivors of the AIDS epidemic used their Bodyscapes Experience to continue their community’s proud history of marrying the arts to social activism with their heartfelt, profound and politically aware poetry and drawings. The gallery exhibition following the workshop began and ended with ceremonies highlighted by the artists reading their poems, events that became much anticipated and well attended within the San Francisco Bay Area HIV community.

Funded by a grassroots crowdfunding campaign.

“Diane guides you through the process to create your own masterpiece. Bodyscapes is a beautiful and creative platform to express your emotions in a POZitive way. It really gave me inspiration to tap back into my artistic side. I was able to go deep within my feelings. My art can impact someone else’s  life. #LHIVingAwesome.”
