We all know HIV is complicated. The news and sciences of the virus are continually evolving, yet minds are not. People living with HIV today are not in the same situation as they were in 1984. It's time to update our knowledge on HIV. It's time to EVOLVE.
All I can really say is that this show was bigger and better than I had ever hoped for. Evolve took on a life of its own and so many of the artists shared their own powerful stories of overcoming whatever life has tossed along their path.
Over 20 photographers, ceramicists and artists were part of this event. Gay, straight, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgender, Black Latino, White, Armenian, poor, broke, rich, wealthy, HIV positive, HIV negative and even two homeless individuals were all artists in this show. The was a direct representation of what Los Angeles looks like and together we showed why we are the City of Angels
About 400 attended the opening at Art Share-LA in Downtown Los Angeles. The event was a complete success with people coming from as far north as Sacramento as far south as San Diego. New York, Denver and even two folks from Atlanta made the trek to the Evolve opening. I was completely blown away.
Big thanks to all the artists for their beautiful pieces, my family, friends and supporters for continuing to embrace my work through Project KengiKat and Do Something Saturday and to everyone who donated and attended the event I want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.

In Rovaniemi, located in Finland at the "gate to the Arctic" on the Arctic circle at 66.6' degrees North, the circumpolar Arctic environmental cooperation started in 1991. On invitation of Finland the environmental Ministers of the eight Arctic countries came together to launch the Arctic Environmental Protections Strategy (AEPS). In 1996 evolved the "Rovaniemi Process", on initiative of Canada, to the establishment of the Arctic Council. Today's intergovernmental cooperation of the Arctic Council is still focused on environmental cooperation and sustainable development, which makes the Arctic quite region unique and the Rovaniemi Process still alive. The pictures of this series just provide some illustration of the environment around the capital of Finish Lapland.
