The House Is Small

The House is Small but the Welcome is Big explores the impact of HIV/AIDS as experienced through the eyes of women and children living in South Africa and Mozambique. The first phase of the project was completed in February 2006, in collaboration with the much–lauded Mothers2Mothers, when Venice Arts’ photographers traveled to Cape Town, South Africa to teach 15 HIV positive women, recent moms and moms-to-be, how to document their lives photographically.
