Artist Call to Artists Living with HIV |
IAS 2023 HIV Science as Art exhibition
YOU ARE INVITED TO SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION for the upcoming HIV Science as Art exhibition in Brisbane, Australia July 2023.
HIV Science as Art is an exhibit that will highlight new and innovative science through art during the IAS 2023 Conference in Brisbane, Australia 23-26 July 2023. Twelve scientists who will be presenting at the conference will be matched with an artist living with HIV to create a collaborative artwork over a 90-day period (March-May 2023). All selected artists will receive a commission to create an original piece of work in conversation with their companion scientist which reflects the concepts of their scientific work.
The final artworks will be shown at a gallery in Brisbane as part of the IAS 2023 affiliated events schedule. The exhibition will include a catalogue and limited-edition high-quality prints co-signed by both the artist and scientist duo. The original pieces of art will be auctioned following the exhibition to establish a pool of funds to support HIV programs targeting key affected populations living with HIV across the Asia and the Pacific region.
