AFTERLIVES OF AIDS ETHNOGRAPHIC PHOTO SERIES
Afterlives of AIDS: Oral Histories of Black Women living and aging with HIV is a collection of interviews and portraits documenting how HIV has shaped Black women’s lives and how it has impacted their historical and contemporary roles within familial systems and broader communities. This ongoing oral history project, completed in collaboration with anthropologist Thurka Sangaramoorthy, PhD, aims to present holistic and complex stories of African-American women who have long been ignored in the history of HIV. The interviews and photographs were completed from 2018-19. The project is now housed in the Smithsonian Institute’s Online Virtual Archives, and was featured on the Washington Post, Newsweek, and Huffington Post.
