A better way to be together.

Positive Deviance is a community of cultural innovators who are living intentionally and designing a collective vision for the future.
By collaborating closely with our community, Positive Deviance curates mask-positive experiences at the intersection of art, culture, and public health.

Reimagining connection in the Pandemicene
Positive Deviance rejects the narratives of disposability driving the (political) end of the pandemic and embraces our collective responsibility to build the future in the Pandemicene.
Through thoughtfully designed events, original storytelling, and community-driven initiatives, we're building an ecosystem that empowers people to participate in public life consciously with health, safety, and equity at the forefront.
Sharing space with layers of protection
Clean Air
We deploy technologies like Far‑UVC light and portable HEPA purifiers to continuously clean and filter the air we breathe.
Respirators
High‑quality masks (N95 / FFP2 / KN95+) are provided and required for all members and guests except in designated outdoor areas.
Testing
Performers, members, and their guests must show proof of a negative NAAT / PCR test before certain events.
