HIV seroconversion over time: 30 years of impact & findings 2022

Image
World AIDS Day special event reflecting on how far we've come 30 years after the first seroconversion study in Australia In 1992, the first in-depth study was set up to explore the 'event' that people attributed to their HIV seroconversion. Unique in the world, this study investigated the ways in which people understand and negotiate HIV risk. Over time, studies of HIV seroconversion have identified many important issues, such as the emergence of strategic positioning and serosorting. They have also chronicled, via participants' accounts, many significant developments in the epidemic, including contemporary antiretroviral-based HIV prevention approaches (notably 'treatment-as-prevention' and U=U). This research continues to be important in the current era, for example providing insights into HIV testing patterns, mobility, PrEP, and the negotiation of sexual encounters on digital media apps. On the 30th anniversary of the first seroconversion study in Australia

Gifts In A New Light at The Galeries 2022

80% of Australians receive unwanted gifts each year. From socks and undies to toilet brushes and plastic plants, the list is endless. But at The Galeries, it's pretty hard to buy a bad gift. As even the most ordinary are extraordinary. We held a National Poll, then took the top voted 'unwanted gifts' and positioned them in a new light. Via a first of its kind, we used the Artificial Intelligence program, Mid Journey, and partnered with M-Lon, a local Digital Artist to turn them into objects of desire for all to enjoy on our unconventional 'digi-tree' on Ground Floor. The Galeries will also be collecting donated goods on behalf of The Red Cross and encouraging customers to donate unwanted gifts incentre from Boxing Day. The funds raised from donations will go towards supporting Red Cross teams on the ground in Australia and across the Asia Pacific. https://upnext.com.au/event/gifts-in-a-new-light-at-the-galeries-2022 Check out our website https://upnext.com.au/sydney

Opening reception: Friday, 18 November from 6-8pm⁠ Exhibition dates: 18 November - 17 December 2022⁠ Tacit Testudo Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery is delighted to present Tacit Testudo , an exhibition of new paintings by Daniel Boyd. In this incredible body of new work, acclaimed contemporary artist Daniel Boyd invites us into a space of prismatic reflection where intricately entwined stories of Enlightenment conquests and colonial escapades are brought to life by dappled light and softly obscured images.

We discover the mottled figure of famous Tahitian man Omai, who was brought aboard during Cook'
