Journal Article
A broken land: images of AIDS in Africa
2002
Overview
[Gideon Mendel]'s initial involvement with HIV and AIDS was as a photojournalist commissioned to do a job, but over the years he has become an activist and now works closely with ActionAid (see http://www.actionaid.org). His commitment to the cause is evident, as is Mendel's respect and affection for the subjects of his photographs. As a result, the mood generated by these powerful images is one of optimism as well as sadness. Early on, Mendel realised that, as an educational tool, images alone did not convey enough information, so he added narrative text to each image. In many pictures, the words are those of the subject of the photograph. The personal stories of Joseph Gabriel, Susan Atuhura, and Mzokhona Malevu, of voluntary care workers, nurses, and families facing AIDS provide both a human face to the statistics and insight into the work of those who are dedicated to helping reduce the spread of the virus.
