In Chinese minds, ‘aids’ is still something kept as a ‘non-of-my-business’ concept. There are few people who understand and care about the fact that this disease increases so fast, and has become a threat to the whole world. Because of the nature of Chinese culture it has been a hidden problem, resulting in even higher risks. It is difficult to talk about matters of who is infected, how and where it has been passed on, and how to stop it. Even now, when people take action and establish some works to help affected people and control the spread, it is still difficult to know what is going to happen in the coming 10 years.
In China, art, music and culture has a very special ability to communicate and mediate messages. People are used to this way of getting information and understand different issues. Artists can speak a heart-to-heart language where age, gender and cultural differences do not matter.
“Contagious Love ” is the TCG Nordica sustained three years of the AIDS community care nonprofit projects, initiated cultural and arts activities to arouse people’s attention to AIDS. In this process artists, poets and other cultural workers together with HIV/AIDS care workers and the infected people get connected, the project builds a bridge between these people and promotes a mutual understanding between them. This year 24 poets and artists from China, Cambodia, Belgium, Sweden and other countries use art and words as a language to show great concern about HIV/AIDS.

艾滋病至今为止，在大部分中国人的观念里仍然是一件与自己无关的事情，很少有人知道并关注，它已在短短数年里，迅速发展成 为威胁全世界的恶疾。含蓄的中国文化，使它更加成为一个隐藏的社会问题，成为更加严峻的风险。人们无从得知谁已身患此疾，谁将会被传染，如何阻止。即使人 们大量投入并建立了多种机制用于帮助被感染者，并试图控制传播的速度，人们仍然无法估计未来十年的状况。艺术、音乐、文化以其特殊的流通和交流能力，被公 认为一种特殊的国际语言。人们通过它进行各个层面的交流。更具有意义的是它所产生的深层次的灵魂魅力，可以使艺术家与观众之间进行自由的沟通，并产生多样 性的理解和共鸣。
“蔓延的爱”是TCG诺地卡持续3年对艾滋病进行社会关怀的公益项目，发起文化艺术活动以此引起人们对艾滋病的关注。并在这个过程中搭建艺术家、诗人等文 化工作者与艾滋关怀工作者以及艾滋病人之间的桥梁，促成他们之间的彼此认识与理解。今年我们与24位中国、柬埔寨、比利时以及瑞典等国的诗人、艺术家合 作，以文学与艺术的方式共同关注艾滋病。并于今年艾滋病日12月1日举办展览，这个展览将呈现文学艺术工作者对艾滋现象在社会、人文、思想、关怀等领域的 思考与讨论，另一方面，我们也将看到文学艺术工作者在创作语言和材料上，展示出有关文学在视觉展示层面上惊人的创造力。
