Global Vitiligo Observatory
The Global Vitiligo Observatory is a living map of the vitiligo movement's history: World Vitiligo Day celebrations, conferences, master classes, meet-ups, TED talks, art projects. Pick a year, or wander the map as it is — the colour of a pin tells you what kind of event it was.
Some gatherings have already slipped away untracked. If you ran something, went to something, or still have a poster in a drawer: send it in before it disappears too.
