The 'New Face for Leprosy' exhibition challenges the myths and perceptions of this neglected tropical disease.
Their purpose was to create a thought-provoking series of portraits and real-life stories, highlighting the physical, social and emotional impact of leprosy.
In the spring of 2023, Diana and Tom took the project to Bangladesh, to find real-life stories of people affected by leprosy in a post-pandemic landscape.
The ‘New Face for Leprosy’ exhibition details the reality of leprosy, focusing on positive messages about the curative nature of multidrug therapy and the support of staff and other affected people at Lepra’s health centres in India and Bangladesh.
Launched at The Athenauem in February 2024, the exhibition is on permanent display at LMU Klinikum (The Institute of Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine in Munich) and was prevously hosted in the UK at Westminster, Coventry, and Wells Cathedral.
