On the anniversary of Day With(out) Art, a day when cultural organizations raise awareness of HIV and AIDS, remember people who have died, and inspire positive action, the Museum and the Princeton Garden Theatre invite you to a screening of Red Reminds Me . . . . This program of seven videos was commissioned by Visual AIDS and reflects on the emotional spectrum of living with HIV today. Introduced by Museum Director James Steward.
This screening is free and open to the public. Reserve your free ticket on the Princeton Garden Theatre’s website.
Following the screening, join the film director David Oscar Harvey and James Steward for a discussion of Harvey’s video Ambivalence: On HIV & Luck, which tackles the disorienting experience of existing with a manageable condition that our present culture insists on representing in terms of its bleak past. Interested in figuring HIV differently, the film presents a series of visual puns merging the iconography of HIV and AIDS with popular symbols of luck.
