Raising awareness of how HIV is transmitted is one of the best ways
we can help stop the epidemic. By empowering young people to fight
stigma, break taboos and smash ignorance we can change
attitudes - and help save lives.
As part of our ongoing commitment to HIV and AIDS awareness, we've
teamed up with MTV to launch the 'Stop HIV: Spray to Change
Attitudes' campaign. Together we're working to raise awareness
amongst young people about HIV and AIDS, and raise funds for
MTV's Staying Alive Foundation, who support grass-roots
charities around the world to help raise awareness and educating
young people about HIV and AIDS.

In support of our campaign, Australian graffiti artist Sarah
Howell, renowned for creating intricate and vivid collage work, has
created this stunning one-off original artwork 'Rougeberry
Original' for auction. All proceeds raised will go to our partner
charity, MTV's Staying Alive Foundation.
Howell is giving her support to help tackle the
epidemic;
"This collaboration with MTV and The Body Shop was very important
to me as I feel we all need to do more to create awareness about
AIDS. I was honoured that I had a chance to create something that
will affect change so I wanted the image to be bright, striking and
relevant to the "Spray for Change" motto. The artwork, layers of
collage, paint and computer mixed media reflects how one person can
be uplifted and made beautiful through this product by donating a
small amount to charity. I liked the idea of her soul unleashed in
a frenzy or flowers and colour which is reflected in the
uncontrived and textured collage."
Auction Update
The Sarah Howell artwork auction has now closed, and we are happy
to announce that the closing bid was £710. All money raised from
the auction will go directly to the MTV Staying Alive Foundation. A
big thank you to everyone who participated!
Together we can make a real and positive impact on the lives of
young people around the world.
