POSITIVE PORTRAITS is a collaborative project between Mathilde Fenger and the Danish AIDS Foundation.

 

The goal is to break down the stigma and prejudices surrounding HIV/AIDS by giving a face to those living with the condition.

​

Through 12 paintings, Fenger conveys unique stories of strength, courage, and beauty, regardless of HIV status. The artworks are created to inspire dialogue, empathy, and a shift in society's perception of people living with HIV.

​

POSITIVE PORTRAITS is touring across Denmark and will be included in the curriculum of social and healthcare education programs.

​

The main sponsor of the exhibition is Gilead Sciences.

Additional sponsors include GSK, the Gangsted Foundation, and the City of Copenhagen.

​

The exhibition received the 'Art price' at The Danish Rainbow Awards 2023
