Confounding Expectations: Access to Life – Photojournalism on AIDS

Posted on July 10th, 2010 by admin in photojournalism | No Comments »

In Access to Life, (Aperture, March 2009) eight of the worlds leading photojournalists, all members of Magnum Photos, follow thirty individuals in nine countries before they began the antiretroviral treatment and four months thereafter. These photographs document the drug’s transformative effect on their bodies, their lives, and the lives of their families. Here are the faces, voices, and stories representing millions of people who would otherwise be dead if not for access to free life-saving drugs. But there are also the stories of those individuals for whom treatment came too late, showing how the fight to bring access to AIDS treatment is still a difficult one.

The New School, Aperture, and Magnum bring a select group to speak on behalf of this project, Access to Life, which proposes that these citizens—who reside in Haiti, India, Russia, Vietnam, Mali, Rwanda, Peru, South Africa, and Swaziland—are united across political and geographic borders by their common struggle. Speakers include photojournalists Kristen Ashburn and Gilles Peress; former picture editor of Time magazine Mary Anne Golon; Mark Lubell, Bureau Chief for the Magnum Photos New York office; and moderator Fred Ritchin, Associate Chair of the Department of Photography and Imaging at New York Universitys Tisch School of the Arts, and Director of PixelPress.

The lecture series sponsored by The Aperture Foundation, the Photography Department at Parsons The New School for Design, and the Vera List Center for Art and Politics, is presented with generous support from the Kettering Family Foundation and the Henry Nias Foundation. The program is made possible, in part, by public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.

Location: Tishman Auditorium, Alvin Johnson/J. M. Kaplan Hall, 66 West 12th Street.
