The Fitzrovia Chapel in London is the only remaining part of the old Middlesex Hospital, at which several of the early AIDS wards for the capital were situated. Now a new exhibition of photographs taken in 1993 by Gideon Mendel will consider the nature of remembrance and photography as they chart some of the lives and passing of patients at the hospital during the last years before anti-retroviral therapies totally changed the prognosis for those living with HIV. This new exhibition also ties in with Terence Higgins Trust’s 40th anniversary, the photographs for The Ward being originally commissioned as part of their 10th anniversary in 1993. The exhibition runs until February 5th and more information is available from the Fitzrovia Chapel website, which we have linked to on our newsfeed.
