Chehera: The Human Face of TB

GHA India (March 2011)

The real lives and faces behind the disease inspired Global Health Advocates India to harness the power of art through a collaboration with the Art For Change Foundation — a group of socially conscious artists — to create an exhibition dedicated to those who battle with TB.

A gallery showing was organized on World TB Day, 2011 where the public were invited to see powerful images that truly illustrate the challenge that this scourge presents. The exhibit allowed these artists to transcend the physical world of TB to one where art becomes a window into emotions, experiences, perspectives, aspirations, and dreams. Inside the attached PDF are 88 pgs of images and personal accounts from the artists who created them, as well as some insightful and informative statements from those on the ground fighting TB. “Chehera: The Human Face of TB” should inspire you to educate yourself further and do what you can to help stop the spread of tuberculosis.
