Access to life: The Global Fund and Magnum Photo joint presentation
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
Its was a great experience to retaining a photography exhibition titled “Access to Life” by Magnum Photos at global village of XVII International AIDS conference of Mexico City. Its impossible to make anyone understood what Magnum is or what they are doing! May be my words are harsh for my friends but I am skeptical if I have to write an introductory for Magnum Photos for others, I am sure that will be too much and I will miss the weight the simple few alphabets that Magnum can hold! Yes, they are the most prestigious photo agency in the world and in other way I must say group of extraordinary “Image Makers” of all time.

This Exhibition was directly hoarded by “The Global Fund”. The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria is supporting lifesaving treatment with antiretroviral drugs for more than 1.4 million people worldwide. The Global Fund is a unique global public - private partnership dedicated to attracting and disbursing additional resources to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. This partnership between governments, civil society, the private sector, and affected communities represents a new approach to international health financing. (from official website)

Eight photographers has been working with peoples living with HIV and AIDS in different nine countries of the world for few months and came out with magnificent stories of their life. Some time it was hard to believe and some time it was hard to cope. From India to Peru every where is the same, life is meeting the decay or staying alive positively.

From the images there was a clear visual in front us, we have to think again about what we are going to do next. What we really want for the whole condition of HIV and AIDS which is an epidemic for many courtiers. Should we keep growing up the numbers of infections? Or we should keep the promise? If this is not the right time, then when?

Images are eloquent, having a strong message to protect us, ourselves and those who are living positively and reminds us to access in our life. Again. It' s a sanity.
