The NVDV (Dutch Association for Dermatology and Venereology) published an article about the expressive power of images.
Patients and their associations are increasingly coming to the fore through photos. Not only in photo albums, but also as an outcome of targeted policies of various patient associations.
What were their motivations, what reactions did they hope for and how did readers and viewers react? A short and meaningful inventory because “healthy skin cannot be taken for granted.”
Editor's note:
The article contains an incomplete sentence:
Monteiro responds without hesitation:
“We want the shame!”
this has to be:
Monteiro responds without hesitation:
” We want to take away the shame!“
