Women Living with HIV workshop - Positively Fabulous 2013 August - Richmond VIC
Change Media collaborated with GloballyAware’s Artistic Director Kim Davis and women living with HIV during a series of co-creative community workshops to develop a prototype and teaser video for a large scale public art project GloballyAware is planning for 2014-2015.
‘Positively Fabulous’ will be a large-scale interdisciplinary community health-arts collaboration between GloballyAware and Change Media, connecting Women Living with HIV, global stakeholders and communities through co-creative film-making, innovative public arts interventions and social media strategies, with on-line engagement via Feral Arts’ PlaceStories and ABC Open platforms.
‘Positively Fabulous’ combines an online platform with innovative engagement strategies through digital media and public art events and accessible peer-produced resource kit. The project consults and collaborates with women living with HIV to have their voices heard and to input into the decision-making that affects their health, well-being and lives. With long-term benefits reaching well beyond 2015, this interactive arts project amplifies HIV-positive women’s voice for self-determination and effective harm reduction, human rights, social justice and equality.
GloballyAware’s Artistic Director Kim Davis is lodging a series of funding submissions this year to make the project happening; please contact us if you are able to support the initiative.
