An International Art Exhibition of artists living with HIV
About
Although science has made great strides, discrimination againstpeople living with HIV has largely remained. Fear and prejudice
are deeply rooted in people for no good reason. However, some
people with HIV also self-stigmatize and many cannot, because
of public pressure, reveal their status.
ArtPositive is an artistic project, the culmination of which will be
an international exhibition by visual artists living with HIV.
The objective of this initiative is to combat, through art, the
stigma, discrimination and isolation some people still face living
with the virus.
We are HIV positive artists from different countries and we want
to say NO to HIV stigma ! We want to show through our artistic
creations, exhibited in a high-class art gallery, (located in the
artistic epicenter of Paris, the Saint-Germain-des-Prés quartier),
that we are people and artists like all the others in the world.
The virus in the blood is apparently easier to eliminate than
stigma in the mind.
We want people to know that everyone has the same rights,
duties and opportunities whether you live with or without HIV.
The artists, :
Adrienne Seed, Manchester, UK,
Bore Ivanoff, Paris, France / Bulgaria,
Nacho Hernandez Alvarez, Barcelona, Spain,
Philipp Spiegel, Wien, Austria.
In partnership with, Elus Locaux Contre le SIDA, EACS (European AIDS
