Meet the artists behind ZERO IS GREATER. What can a simple plate of food tell us about solidarity? Multidisciplinary artist and creative director @Serai Kevin Lobelo draws inspiration from the plastic food plates used during the height of South Africa’s HIV/AIDS pandemic. At a time when stigma led some families to isolate relatives living with HIV/AIDS, activists and community members quietly stepped in, leaving plates of food outside their doors. Serai’s work commemorates this often-unseen act of solidarity while confronting the history of nutritional denialism. Garlic off-white and beetroot crimson become symbols of resistance, bodily autonomy and viral suppression. Book your ticket for the artist talk on 31 October at ConHill. webtickets.co.za/v2/EventCat… Discover Serai’s work in “Zero is Greater” until 13 November 2026 #ZeroIsGreater #ArtistHighlight #SeraiKevinLobelo #SouthAfricanArt #VisitConHill #HIV #ArtAndActivism
