Women Living with HIV workshop - Bangkok ICAAP Women's Voices 2014 March - Bangkok International

Change Media collaborated with GloballyAware’s Artistic Director Kim Davis and women living with HIV from across the Asia-Pacific region during a series of co-creative community workshops in Adelaide, Melbourne and at ICAAP conference in Bangkok. We produced a 15min documentary and a series of Women's Voices interviews as part of a large scale public art project GloballyAware is creating for global HIV conference AIDS 2014 in Melbourne in July 2014.

‘Positively Fabulous’ will be a large-scale interdisciplinary community health-arts collaboration between GloballyAware, Straight Arrows, Living Positive VIC 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.

During the project we collaborated with women living with HIV to support their voices and offer them a platform to address the decision-making that affects their health, well-being and quality of life. 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.
