Until February 25, 2025, Bildhalle Zurich is showing an exhibition by Bastiaan Woudt entitled Champions which it presents as follows.
Champions project is a series of powerful images from Zambia, realized in collaboration with Orange Babies, a dedicated organization providing support to HIV-infected pregnant women and their children in developing countries such as Namibia, South Africa, and Zambia.
The heart of the project lies in Zambia, where Bastiaan Woudt has photographed a group of young adults who act as “champions” in their communities. These young, powerful individuals play a vital role in spreading awareness about HIV and creating safe spaces for peers to discuss essential topics such as sexual education.
Bastiaan Woudt chose to capture these young adults not only as advocates in their community but also as symbols of strength and dignity. Through his lens, he aimed to transform these young people into heroes, warriors, kings, and queens, a visual representation of their indispensable role in the fight against HIV and AIDS.
