SUMMARY:ARCHIVES EXHIBIT and RECEPTION | HIV: A Plague of Violence Against Women
DESCRIPTION:\n\nJoin UCSF Archives & Special Collections for the exhibit 
 opening and reception of "HIV: A Plague of Violence Against Women". This 
 exhibit features a collection of photo montages by Arthur J. Ammann\, 
 M.D.\, a pediatric immunologist and advocate known for his research on HIV 
 transmission and his role in the development of the first successful 
 vaccine to prevent pneumococcal infection in 1977.  Dr. Ammann is also the 
 founder of Global Strategies (http://www.globalstrategies.org/) \, a 
 nonprofit organization that serves women and children in the most neglected 
 areas of the world where he witnessed not one but two epidemics affecting 
 women —sexual and physical violence and HIV.\n\nThrough his surrealist 
 lens\, Dr. Ammann's photo montages document the suffering he witnessed 
 during his time working with HIV infected women in Africa. The world of art 
 has been a refuge for Dr. Ammann since his childhood. The creations of 
 great artists spoke to him about the unrelenting violence against women\, 
 the struggle between good and evil\, and the valley of the shadow of death. 
 Paintings by Blake\, Bosch\, Giotto\, Kahlo\, Munch\, Caravaggio\, Titian\, 
 Dali\, Freud\, Nerdrum\, and Picasso\, resonated with what he felt from his 
 experiences. \n\nFor over a decade he put the images together\, took them 
 apart\, and put them together again. The title of each photo montage is 
 accompanied by a quote or words\, many derived from the stories women told. 
 These images are a collective demand that “Violence against women must be 
 stopped.”\n\n\n\nThe exhibit is also a call to action for Dr. Ammann: 
 “We must never accept violence and injustice nor ignore its enduring 
 wounds. We can create new voices and images for advocacy. We can move to 
 repair the physical\, emotional\, and spiritual scars that remain. We can 
 provide inexpensive and easy to use medicines to prevent the complications 
 of rape―HIV\, other sexually transmitted infections\, and unwanted 
 pregnancy.”\n\nWe invite you to explore this visually arresting exhibit 
 in support of Dr. Ammann's efforts to end violence against 
 women.\n\nOpening Remarks by Drs. Arthur J. Ammann and Paul Volberding\,
