Eight photographers tell the story of what it means to live with HIV

The RI-SCATTI project, conceived and organized by the PAC Padiglione d’Arte Contemporanea of Milan and Ri-scatti ODV – the volunteer association that since 2014 has been creating projects about social redemption through photography – and promoted by the City of Milan with the support of Tod’s and LCA Studio Legale, has reached its tenth edition this year.

To celebrate this milestone, the 2024 edition, curated by Diego Sileo, is dedicated to the theme of HIV/AIDS, exploring its social perception and creating, through photography, a new representation that fosters a more accurate and mindful communication about the disease. The collective exhibition, titled Somebody to Love, focuses on the stories of eight people living with HIV who have chosen to share their experiences by using art as a tool for expression and empowerment, reclaiming their identity beyond the virus.

Additionally, on October 19, Le Cannibale and the PAC Milan will host a special event in the museum’s halls, featuring two musical performances by Nicky Siano, a pioneer of disco music, activist, and legendary DJ of New York's Studio 54, and Hiroko Hacci, a Japanese artist and emerging DJ in the international electronic music scene.
