About the Exhibit
Malaria: blood, sweat, and tears was conceived and produced by the Malaria Consortium and photographer/curator Adam Nadel. The exhibit uses a variety of media including photographs, stamps, illustration, and 3-dimensional objects, such as mosquito nets, to discuss the history, science, and global impact of malaria. The exhibition, with the support of Vestergaard Frandsen and in cooperation with the Roll Back Malaria Partnership, opened at the United Nations' main gallery in spring 2010.
Malaria will kill at least 700,000 children this year. In 2009, a minimum of 250,000,000 people contracted the disease, and almost half of the world's population was at risk. Malaria does more than just kill people; its devastating economic toll has destroyed untold dreams of a better life.
Malaria: blood, sweat, and tears is a Malaria Consortium exhibit sponsored in Atlanta by the Global Health Odyssey Museum, Division of Community Engagement, Office of the Associate Director for Communication.
The CDC Foundation acknowledges the generous gift of Vestergaard Frandsen, in support of the Global Health Odyssey Museum and the Malaria: blood, sweat, and tears exhibition in Atlanta. |
