The AIDS Wall is a collaborative public art project located in the sculpture garden of the National Gallery of Harare. Done as part of my African Regional Fulbright in Harare Zimbabwe, it consists of a Z shaped wall and a bench. Both sides of the wall are inlaid with ceramic tiles painted by nineteen artists from Ros Byrne's Pottery Factory in Ruwa. The tiles depict the artists' impressions of how AIDS has affected the communities of Zimbabwe, both rural and urban. Children from Harare orphanages did the accompanying bench, inlaid with drawings and poetry relating to AIDS. Funded by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the aim of the project is to "break the silence" that has surrounded the AIDS pandemic in Zimbabwe. Our aim is to give the community a focus for dealing with loss and prevention of further spread. The descriptive style of the Ruwa artists accurately describes the complexities of the situation. A brief text in English Shona, and Ndebele accompanies the panels.
