Host a Night at the Exhibit!You may want to invite partner groups to host an evening at the exhibit. Please note we are NOT encouraging you to move the exhibit for a partner group. Instead, if they want to host a reception or event in the same place, then this might be a nice opportunity to build their ownership to the issue of microbicides and broaden your audience. Coming soon to (name of city here):Giving Women Power Over AIDS -- a traveling exhibit inspired by the 2002 Seattle Times feature story, “In Her Mother’s Shoes”. The Global Campaign for Microbicides has transformed this remarkable photo-essay into a traveling exhibit to break through the incomprehension generated by mind-numbing statistics. To give the pandemic a human face, it takes the viewer into the lives of two children in Zimbabwe who are losing their mother of AIDS. It then introduces the idea of microbicides as one possibility that offers real hope – especially to women. The exhibit is to offer a compelling account of why citizens should care about global AIDS and embrace research into new prevention technologies. While it is focused on this area of HIV prevention, it also offers a powerful back-drop for a wide range of other organizations and community groups. Because we all know how profoundly a wide range of human efforts are being impacted by the AIDS pandemic, we want to offer you --at no cost – the opportunity to use this exhibit for a night to make a powerful, public connections between the work you are doing and the issues raised by the exhibit.

How could you use this?There are many reasons your organization might want to host time at the exhibit: To help people learn more about the global impact of AIDS and what they can do about it --- might appeal to faith groups, youth organizations such as scout troops, community organizations and student groups/classes at the high school, college and graduate school levels To illustrate the connections between the work you are doing and the topic of the exhibit – might appeal to people committed to HIV/AIDS work, women’s health, reproductive rights and international relief work in any sector. To re-inspire commitment – all of us experience fatigue and flagging commitment from time to time. The opportunity to come together and remind ourselves of the importance of what we are doing can help renew our energies and re-inspire our willingness to persist in the work that needs to be done. Although no hosting organization is permitted to charge admission (since the exhibit is open to all), guest hosting organizations are not prohibited from requesting or accepting contributions during their guest hosting time at the exhibit. They are also not prohibited from arranging for catering if they choose to offer refreshments during their hosting time (although the cost of such arrangements is entirely the responsibility of the guest hosts) To be moved by the art – This walk-through exhibit is a gripping visual representation of the impact of the most massive pandemic in human history. In 2002, reporter Paula Bock and photographer Betty Udesen of the Seattle Times traveled to Zimbabwe to get a first hand look at the reality of AIDS in Africa. The resulting photo-essay chronicles the life story of Ruth Chimuonenji who dies of AIDS at age 24 after being infected by her husband. Her 6-year old daughter Martha joins the ranks of AIDS orphans and must step into her mother’s shoes far too early. The series won the Global Health Council’s Award for Excellence in Journalism in 2002. The exhibit consists of twelve 7-foot panels that enlarge the strikingly powerful photos and text to provide a “walk-through” experience. Photographs from the rest of the world expand on the message – giving a global picture of the pandemic’s impact. Physical “artifacts” from Zimbabwe, as well as music, songs, and ambient sound from southern Africa also accompany the exhibit. How do I arrange to host some time at the exhibit?
