“public health is at the center of diffa’s mission. our hearts go out to all of those who have been affected by the ongoing covid-19 outbreak. in light of widespread concerns, including those within the hiv/aids community who may be particularly vulnerable, we will always prioritize health & safety. by postponing diffa by design, we aim to honor both the communities affected by hiv/aids as well as the broader public who may harbor concerns about attending events during this time. we also aim to honor our loyal supporters by giving them an opportunity to showcase their immense creativity for this important cause at a time when more people will be able to attend and take part.” dawn roberson, diffa, executive director

on 9 – 11 july, diffa by design visitors will have the opportunity to explore a myriad of inspiring installations created by world renowned brands, artists and designers, a cash and carry boutique featuring the latest in luxury home accessories, gifts, original art, and a series of conversations and interactive sessions led by today’s top voices in the industry. all proceeds from diffa by design will be granted to organizations supporting individuals and communities affected by hiv/aids nationwide.
