STIGMA

Positive Lives offers an extraordinary insight into the lives of individuals and portrays a range of emotions – fear, love, strength, hope and shame – which are created by stigma and prejudices.

The first exhibition opened in London in 1993. It then toured many places including Europe, Africa, the USA and Australia. It has touched over six million people and received critical and public acclaim.
