Inside/Out: an Efavirenz dream

Inside/Out is more than a combination of words; it is also an invitation and a challenge for you to navigate between spaces and through uneasy conversations.

Artist Sebastian Zagarella presents his interpretation of living with HIV in a contemporary domestic environment inviting the audience to enter into, and consider, a personal perspective on living with HIV.

Date: 17 January – 3 February
Location: Chapel off Chapel, 12 Little Chapel St, Prahran

Everyone is welcome to join the artist for the exhibition launch on Wednesday 17 Jan from 6.30 – 8.30pm

Inside/Out: A roundtable conversation

Is there still shame in living with HIV? What does it mean to live with HIV in 2018? A range of panellists including health professionals, artists, academics and community leaders will answer that question and weigh in on how HIV affects us today.

Come and join the conversation or just sit back and listen.

Date: Saturday 20 January
Time: 2pm – 4pm
Location: The Mezzanine, Chapel off Chapel,
12 Little Chapel St, Prahran
