PULSE Awards 2024 - Ending AIDS, Erase Stigma

PULSE Awards 2024 is here with the theme ‘Ending AIDS, Erase Stigma.’ We are the SEXHIBITION that aims to promote sexual health awareness and erase the AIDS and HIV stigma and discrimination

Ending AIDS, Erase Stigma

For decades, sexual health has remained a pressing global issue. The emergence of the HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) epidemic can be traced back to the early 1980s, marking the onset of a worldwide pandemic that has impacted millions of lives. However, amidst the challenges, remarkable strides have been achieved in comprehending the virus, devising effective treatments, and implementing prevention measures.

Despite more than four decades passing, HIV and AIDS continue to persist as global epidemics. Although technology continues to progress, we now possess the ability to manage the virus effectively. Unfortunately, the stigma surrounding HIV remains unchanged. Despite substantial progress in understanding, treating, and preventing HIV, the negative attitudes and discrimination associated with the virus continue to create barriers for affected individuals.

“Ending AIDS, Erase Stigma” - This is the theme of the PULSE Awards 2024, SEXHIBITION from PULSE Gallery. PULSE Gallery and PULSE Clinic are committed to promoting sexual health awareness and reducing the impact of HIV in the region. Art is a powerful tool to convey this message worldwide, which is why PULSE Gallery serves as a platform for artists to exhibit their work and will host the PULSE Awards this year.

For PULSE Awards, there will be  2 categories, Painting and Sculpture. Winners of each category will have a chance to work with PULSE as PULSE Artist In Residence.
