Body Maps for People with AIDS/HIV

This 'Mapping Our Lives' initiative is best known for producing life-sized 'body maps'. A-team members take their own body maps to support groups to talk about their experience of illness, treatment, and disclosure. They then show the participants how to make their own body maps. In addition to this form of art/narrative therapy, the Mapping Our Lives initiative also includes workshops on 'social maps' and 'journey maps' to stimulate critical discussion about the social challenges posed by HIV/AIDS.
