The Museum of Art & Photography and the QAMRA Archival Project, NLSIU, invite you to a screening of

A Human Question by T. Jayashree

This film screening is being organised as part of the larger programming around MAP’s exhibition, Visible/Invisible: Representation of Women in Art Through the MAP Collection, and in collaboration with The QAMRA Archival Project at NLSIU, Bengaluru.

Join us for the screening of the film, A Human Question, followed by an audience interaction with the director,   T. Jayashree. 

Tracing the story of the global struggle to make HIV/AIDS drugs more affordable and available A Human Question raises key questions of whether private ownership of knowledge can be at the costs of human life? The film explores the complex world of patents and HIV/AIDS medicines by connecting and contrasting personal narratives with those of international lobbyists and activists. The human questions raised in the film will force us to rethink the relationship between intellectual property and human rights.
