At jokaydia, we are lucky enuff to be hosting a beautiful sculpture called ‘I am here’ by Sledge Roffo, and we’ll be releasing some wiki content later in the week to mark this year’s events.
We also invite you to grab a tshirt from the World Aids Day display and take a picture of yourself to mark the occasion! An action shot of you interacting with the sculpture, or a group of friends gathered together would be fantastic.
To share your images, add them to the jokaydia Group pool on flickr and tag with #WADKaruna so we can aggregate the collection
