Project Pūtoetoe
Survivor of an Older Generation Exhibition
Opening night: 6pm-9pm at Thievery Studio, 203 Karangahape Rd, Auckland
Gallery show Thursday 28th November – Sunday 1st December
Free event

The stories and histories of long-term HIV survivors and those living with or affected by HIV are being forgotten. Especially in the age where HIV agencies are focusing on the eradication of HIV and getting to zero transmissions.

Project Pūtoetoe is an Aotearoa, New Zealand based, PLHIV led project which aims to record, present and preserve these stories because they matter. Recording these stories is an important part of our social history and we hope to empower PLHIV while decreasing shame and stigma.
