----/ The Squid List /-------------------------------------------------- Rattlesnake in a Moving Car: Drawings by Rob Anderson
Tuesday, March 21 9:00am-7:00pm Free. ----/ Event Description /----------------------------------------------- Join Visual Aid and Bioscrip Pharmacy at the exhibition, RATTLESNAKE IN A MOVING CAR: LIFE WITH HIV by Artist Rob Anderson (through 5/31). These larger than life, gorgeously depicted graphite portraits give a human face and a heartfelt voice to the circumstances of being a longtime HIV-positive. It is the mission of Rattlesnake in a Moving Car to enhance public understanding of the complexities of being a longtime HIV positive as a way of keeping HIV and AIDS in the public consciousness. The title is inspired by one project participant who compares living with HIV to driving with a rattlesnake in the car. The challenge is to keep it in the passenger seat where it won't cause harm. Rob Anderson, Clinic Study participant, artist, and internationally known HIV spokesperson, presents the stories of twenty men and women who have been successfully keeping the "rattlesnake" at bay. These positive voices, all longtime HIV survivors participating in research studies, communicate a message of hope and survival. As he records their oral histories, Anderson draws their portraits. Rattlesnake in a Moving Car will always be a work in progress. Anderson is comitted to continuing his explorations with new participants and insights. ----/ Venue Info /------------------------------------------------------ Bioscrip Pharmacy 2262 Market street San Francisco 415-255-0101 ----/ Additional Info /------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 415-777-8242 http://www.visualaid.org ----/ The Squid List Admin /--------------------------------------------- The Squid List, a tentacle of Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/ subscribe, unsubscribe, change your email address or change your subscription options: http://lists.laughingsquid.org/mailman/listinfo/squidlist/ Frequently Asked Questions & Submission Guidelines Squid List FAQ: http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/faq.html The Squid List Online Calendar: http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/calendar/ The Squid List RSS Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/squidlist ----/ Laughing Squid /-------------------------------------------------- Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.com art, culture and technology from San Francisco and beyond Laughing Squid Web Hosting http://laughingsquid.net friendly, dependable and secure web hosting services for artists, individuals, bloggers, non-profits and small organizations The Squid List is licensed under a Creative Commons License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/
