DAVID GOLDBLATT & ORANGE BABIES
IN THE TIME OF AIDS - BOOTH 33
Two large-scale photographs from David Goldblatt’s series In the Time of AIDS were exhibited at the Orange Babies booth curated by Victoria Law Projects at the Joburg Art Fair.
Goldblatt is renowned for his documentation of the progress of societal changes and how these impact on the landscape and South African communities. The works presented on the Orange Babies booth document in particular the impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic on the South African landscape. A large portion of the proceeds of the sale of these works will be donated to Orange Babies.
Established in 1999, Orange Babies focuses on the prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV and the care of orphaned and vulnerable children in South Africa, Namibia and Zambia. In South Africa, Orange Babies funds Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission Projects in Soweto and Limpopo and has a Mobile Health Unit that provides HIV testing and counseling to people in the remotest rural villages of Limpopo. Orange Babies also funds orphaned and vulnerable children projects around Johannesburg and in Cape Town as well as several early childhood development facilities. Our ultimate aim is to help achieve an HIV free generation.
