Wear the Red Ribbon

The AIDS Task Force of Northeast Indiana

Invites you to a Reception in

Celebration of World AIDS Day

The Facing HIV/AIDS exhibit will be on display at the Jeffery Krull Gallery located at the downtown library. The people portrayed in the Facing HIV/AIDS exhibit call Northeast Indiana home. They are brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, co-workers, friends and neighbors. They are regular people from very different backgrounds. The only similarity among these people portrayed in the exhibit is they are living with HIV/AIDS. They stepped forward to be photographed — and spoke up to be quoted — to connect the viewers in a personal way. They wanted to show that there is no uniform look to HIV/AIDS. Their diversity represents the diversity of the disease.

Please join us to experience these portraits of courage on
