AIDSART/ SOUTH AFRICA, edited by Kyle D. Kauffman and Marilyn Martin

The current HIV/Aids pandemic constitutes the most serious social problem facing South Africa, but until very recently, few artists had confronted it. This exhibition brings together South African artists who are internationally known and others who are rising stars to address the issue of Aids in South Africa. These works illustrate the new face of artistic activism in contemporary South African art and will hopefully contribute to the on-going debate, as well as to the better understanding of and caring for those who are affected.
