Why is this work relevant for Brand Experience & Activation?

Virag Judit Gallery saw an opportunity to teach women the step-by-step movements of self-examination they should perform regularly. By using their famous nude paintings as media for this AR experience, they reached and educated more women than any previous cancer prevention campaign in the country.

background

Hungary has the number one highest mortality rate for breast cancer in the European Union. Regular self-examination is crucial for early detection, but only 0,6% of women perform it. Education is key, but usual education campaigns have gone practically unnoticed. Judit Virág Gallery, an institution famous for its prestigious collection of paintings featuring nude women, saw an opportunity to help. Together with Pink Ribbon Hungary, they created Art Against Breast Cancer.
