"We paint our families, we paint our
pain and illness. We paint our strength
and our medicines, our food and our
faith. We raise questions. We share
bitterness. We show what matters to
us. We paint the virus and we paint our
ways of staying healthy, of keepinghope alive. We paint what gives
meaning to our lives. We tell our
stories. When you look at our paintings,
we want you to listen with your eyes."

WhAt Are body MAps ?
Body maps are life-size self portraits
which are painted using the outlines
of bodies. These personal and
powerful pictures of HIV-positive
people tell stories about healing,
stigma, discrimination but also
support and vitality.
the MAKinG of the exhibition
Our Positive Bodies An Exhibition of
Body Maps from Africa, Asia and
Europe is all about listening to affected
people and understanding them.
The pieces on display arose from
collaboration between the Kenyan-German Technical Cooperation health
programme and the Art2Be art therapy
project since 2006. HIV-positive
people from Kenya, India and
Thailand attended workshops where
they painted body maps. A workshop
also took place 2008 in Berlin,
Germany, with support from the
Deutsche AIDS-Hilfe e.V. (DAH).
Workshops take place around the
world to enrich the exhibition with
additional body maps - within the
framework of the International AIDS
Conference 2010 in Vienna, too.
The use of art therapy allows simple
facts to be enlivened with personal
stories and cultural contexts. This
"ability to experience" HIV provides new
insight and promotes the understand-ing of people living with this disease.
