"The House is Small But the Welcome is Big: Photographs by African Women and Children Affected by AIDS" Exhibition
Exit Art
This event has ended.
Over the past two years an unlikely group of amateur photographers has documented the life and death struggle of HIV/AIDS in Africa. Eighteen children from Maputo, Mozambique, orphaned by AIDS, and 15 HIV-positive women in Cape Town, South Africa, pointed cameras at images in their communities to tell the uncensored story of their lives. "The House Is Small" is a project of Venice Arts, a nonprofit organization running innovate programs in documentary photography, filmmaking, and digital media/arts, primarily targeting low-income youth in the Los Angeles area since 1993. The organization also implements regional, national and international participant-produced photo documentary projects with adults and children.
