EXHIBITION AND EVENTS
BEURS VAN BERLAGE

July 22 – August 2, 2018

Right in the historic centre of Amsterdam, ATLAS2018 will present a unique exhibition with hundreds of films, photos and written stories of men and women who are living with HIV or AIDS.

We visited all six continents to portray teenagers, truck drivers, sex workers, gay men, the transgendered, drug users, children, long-term survivors and others, to let them speak in their own words.

For two weeks we will have speakers, talk shows, discussions, live recordings, parties and screening new documentary “I will speak, I will speak!”
