“Create Life and Hope through Leadership.” This event is a fusion between Laboratory Experimental Practice and Artistry as 37 leadership representatives convene at the LUTH, Lagos to paint an image of HOPE and LIFE in 12x12 feet, full coloured and canvas based medium. The principle behind all this work is to create a mark of positive identity both in an electronic Documentary and Visual Identity not only for Nigerians, but for the entire world as a campaign mechanism for the World AIDS Day 2007. Through this incubating process, the event will hopefully help generate wide media coverage and awareness for HIV/AIDS.
The acme of the event as anticipated will be the official unveiling of this massive visual identity by Nigeria’s Minister for Health Professor Adenike Grange as a national monument for the World AIDS event and also as a campaign instrument on conventional media to curb the effect of HIV/AIDS in the country.
Also, an Arts exhibition by reputable artists depicting “hope and aspirations in life” of People Living with HIV/AIDS, will be supported by Prof. Bruce Onabrekpeya.
