MORTALES+ Community, Art and HIV/AIDS

  • Art and Society
  • Zush. Letter to the Universe VI, 1977. Colección Suñol Soler

    This proposal, which unites art and science, will work through the activation of an artistic research group between people living with the HIV virus and clinical researchers of this virus, in order to work together on the evolution of the social perception of the pandemic from the 80s to the present day, what has been the role of the patient in advancing access to treatment, understanding the processes that allow clinical trials of this disease to be carried out, in order to deal above all with social factors that determine good adherence to treatment or how to face early ageing and the risks of comorbidity that this disease entails.

    MORTALES is an artistic and research project on HIV/AIDS, on death, illness, cures and life, which seeks to create spaces for collective reflection through the activation of working groups, which at the same time function as mutual support groups.

    MORTALES is a participatory project of collective research and creation, the result of a collaboration between the artist Albert Potrony and the cultural manager Roser Sanjuan.

    Today, thanks to advances in research, prevention and treatment, HIV is no longer a death sentence but a manageable chronic condition. People with HIV can live long and healthy lives. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has been a turning point in the history of HIV.

    This project is supported by a grant for community culture and social transformation projects 2023-2025 from the Generalitat de Catalunya.

    Provisional list of participants: Dr. Dani Podzamczer, Dr. Júlia Calvo and Sir. Agustín Marcos.

    Advisory entities: Ca la Dona, Gais Positius, Supervihvents and Casal Lambda.
