Art for Humanity is a non-profit voluntary association that advocates humanitarian issues such as human rights and HIV/Aids.

The German Development Service (DED) is a non-profit organisation funded by the German government. Around 1000 professionals are working in 45 countries and assist people in improving their living conditions.

In 1996 DED became involved in supporting South Africa in its transformation process and opened its office in Pretoria. Apart from activities in rural development, decentralisation and the promotion of civil society, combating HIV/AIDS has become a new challenge for development work.

This exhibition is an attempt to embark on new ways of creating awareness for HIV/AIDS. Arts and culture are crucial determinants of everyday life. If the epidemic becomes a subject of art, then art can pave its way into our lives * and hopefully the new light the artists shed on HIV/AIDS will open up new ways to break the silence.
