Bloodline: AIDS and Family
The AIDS pandemic continues to devastate sub-Saharan Africa, having already claimed over thirty million lives. Twelve million children have lost at least one parent. The statistics are staggering, but this award-winning MediaStorm project goes beyond numbers, and tells the individual stories of the unfolding catastrophe, reminding us of how tenuous our connection is to each other. Through powerful photographs and video, we learn that what matters most is the care we give to those in need.
Photojournalist Kristen Ashburn documented the impact of the disease from 2001 onward, spending months with families to chronicle their struggle with HIV/AIDS. The African social landscape, forever altered by the AIDS pandemic, is memorialized in her powerful collection of imagery.
