 This group show features the health programs and their inception which foster a strong sense of community. The art works of sex workers, drug users, health care providers and those who love them, add beauty to our challenging world of at-risk populations.

This installation recreates 'Switzerland', a neutral space within the Danzine agency where one could retreat to a small beautiful room to read, watch videos, take a time out.

From the Danzine Archives come paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography, collage, covers of the publication danzine, framed film festival and benefit art auction posters, books/pamphlets on harm reduction such as syringe exchange, overdose prevention and safer sex, safer sex supplies, gear, press books, post cards and the last Danzine T-shirt.

A video installation by Teresa Dulce includes news footage from live performances at City Hall in 2000, and the Portland Bad Date Line.
