A 2-month project I recently completed for @visual_aids . 350 hand-printed monotypes, each one as unique as the person who will receive them.
In NYC this Saturday? Join Visual AIDS at @momaps1 for @lovepositivewomen annual letter-writing event.
More info from Visual AIDS...
"For 2026 Visual AIDS collaborated with two artist members, J. Hartz and Alexander Robateau, to create special-edition valentines. These valentines, along with letters of love from our community, will be mailed around to women all over the world in time for February 14.
Are you interested in writing caring letters to a woman/women living with HIV? Come to our letter-writing party to help pen individualized letters to the 600+ recipients. Join us on January 31 at 2pm on the 3rd floor of MoMA PS1. No RSVP is required and the museum is free.
Cards will be mailed out in early February so that they arrive by Valentine's Day, February 14. (International mailings may arrive later.) Respecting the privacy of recipients, envelopes will bear the recipient's address without additional information.
More about the project:
LOVE POSITIVE WOMEN is an international series of events that uses Valentine’s Day as a backdrop, creating a platform for individuals and communities to engage in public and private acts of love and caring for women living with HIV. LOVE POSITIVE WOMEN is an ongoing project established by Visual AIDS artist member Jessica Whitbread in 2013.
LOVE POSITIVE WOMEN is funded in part by a generous three-year grant from ViiV Healthcare."
