MORTALS+
Community, Art, and HIV/AIDS
In December, we will present MORTALS+, an exhibition showcasing the results of research and working sessions led by artist Albert Potrony and cultural manager Roser Sanjuán, with the participation of a group of people directly linked to HIV/AIDS infection, either because they have been diagnosed, are involved in the field through their professional work, or simply because of a personal commitment.
