“Expressa’t” (Express yourself)

December 2007 Metáfora participated in an exhibition about AIDS in the day-centre “Àmbit Dona” in the area of “el Raval”. The space is very far from representing a “white cube” exhibition space, but it represents the everyday-experience of HIV-infected people or people living in danger of infection (prostitutes, drug-addicts), who have their coming and going at “Ambit Dona”. The experience was very positive and moving.
This projects forms part of collaboration with the organisation “Plataforma Comitè 1r Desembre”, which is planned to continue in future years.
