‘Hospitality’ – Art Against Stigma at the Union World Conference on Lung Health 2025
We were proud to present ‘Hospitality – Selected Works’, an exhibition by artist and TB survivor Paulina Siniatkina, at the Union World Conference on Lung Health 2025. This powerful project transforms hospital spaces and medical tools into symbols of resilience and hope, challenging stigma and inspiring dialogue.
Highlights of the Exhibition
See Through the Scars – Mixed media artworks turning TB X-rays into stories of healing and strength.
The House of Rays – An installation built from lung X-rays collected during TB REACH missions, creating a symbolic home that reminds us: care begins with visibility and shared humanity.
This was more than an art display — it was a call to action to de-stigmatize TB and empower communities.

Paulina’s Reflections
“It’s been a very important step for the project Hospitality to share its preview with the global TB community at the Union World Conference — including my dear family: people affected by tuberculosis, as well as doctors, professors, scientists, and researchers. It was my priority to hear feedback, reflections, and ideas from people who work directly with TB before the project moves into its next stage.”
Paulina expressed gratitude for the incredible team and strong support surrounding this journey. She announced that the full exhibition of ‘Hospitality’ will be on view at Bradwolff Projects in Amsterdam, February–March 2026.
Special thanks went to John Green for visiting the exhibition and to the organizers and supporters who made this preview possible: Stop TB Partnership, The Federation Humana People to People, TBpeople, AFK, We Jansen Fonds, MinXray, and KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation.
