History of Body Mapping: Body Mapping originated in Africa and was created by and for the women of Africa as a way to tell the stories of African women who were living and dying with HIV Virus. The body maps were a powerful source of empowerment for families and communities. Since this time the technique of body mapping has become very popular and travelled to many countries. It continues to be used as a transformative tool for women to record their lives, using the creation of a personal body painting to tell their story.
