The exhibit featured the photographs taken by Shahidul Alam and excerpts of text written by Karen Emmons highlighting how people from diverse backgrounds rise above the challenges posed by AIDS and demonstrates concrete acts of leadership.
A mobile exhibit was also launched the day after the opening of the photo exhibit at the art gallery featuring the same photographs mounted on public Tuktuks that plied the streets of Colombo. |
