Description

This book is the culmination of a ten year project by photographer Thomas McGovern on the AIDS crisis. Consisting of portraits and interviews with a wide range of people with HIV/AIDS, as well as photographs of health care, demonstrations, memorials and funerals, this book is much more than journalistic -- it combines the personal, the historical, and the artistic into a compelling narrative of AIDS. As a cross-cultural, multi-ethnic view of the AIDS crisis, Bearing Witness is testimony to art's profound ability to confront and comfort human suffering.
