Friday, April 10, 7PM
Concordia EV Building, 1.605 (1515 St. Catherine W.)
We invite you to join us for a closing talk presented by Marty Fink (PhD candidate, CUNY), reflecting on past and present queer artistic responses to HIV/AIDS:
Many are familiar with the AIDS activist art of the ’80s and ’90s, as images by groups like ACT UP, General Idea and Gran Fury have come to emblematize the early years of the AIDS crisis. While revisiting such images to commemorate queer histories and visual responses to the pandemic, we can juxtapose these works alongside an exciting new wave of HIV/AIDS art addressing contemporary issues surrounding HIV in North America, as well as what it means to be queer in an age of HIV/AIDS today.
This space is wheelchair-accessible.
