  <dc:title>This Is How AIDS Victims See Themselves</dc:title>

  <dc:description>The poster by James Thorpe was part of an exhibition by graphic artists to address the problems associated with the global spread of HIV/AIDS in 1989. Appropriating the image of a target from a shooting range, and using a bold shade of red set against black and white, the faceless and two-dimensional image symbolizes the persecution of people living with HIV/AIDS. The artist provides an image of how people living with AIDS see themselves--as victims hit with a series of personal, psychological, and financial losses. The image evokes a sense of alienation and victimization experienced by people living with HIV/AIDS as they face rejection by friends, family, and coworkers.. NOTE: Slide of original poster image is slightly blurry.</dc:description>
