SUMMARY:Day With(out) Art 2022: BEING & BELONGING
DESCRIPTION:A screening of seven short films highlighting under-told stories of HIV and AIDS\n\n\nThe International Museum of Surgical Science is proud to partner with Visual AIDS for Day With(out) Art 2022 in presenting Being & Belonging\, a program of seven short videos highlighting under-told stories of HIV and AIDS from the perspective of artists living with HIV across the world. \nThe program features newly commissioned work by Camila Arce (Argentina)\, Davina “Dee” Conner and Karin Hayes (USA)\, Jaewon Kim (South Korea)\, Clifford Prince King (USA)\, Santiago Lemus and Camilo Acosta Huntertexas (Colombia)\, Mikiki (Canada)\, and Jhoel Zempoalteca and La Jerry (México). \nFrom navigating sex and intimacy to confronting stigma and isolation\, Being & Belonging centers the emotional realities of living with HIV today. How does living with HIV shift the ways that a person experiences\, asks for\, or provides love\, support\, and belonging? The seven videos are a call for belonging from those that have been stigmatized within their communities or left out of mainstream HIV/AIDS narratives. \nVisual AIDS is a New York-based non-profit that utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue\, supporting HIV+ artists\, and preserving a legacy\, because AIDS is not over. \nAccessible accommodations include a ramp entrance and elevator. If you need additional accessibility options or wheelchair seating please contact us at info@imss.org. \nPARKING AND DIRECTIONS: https://imss.org/plan-your-visit/#nav \nCOVID Guidelines:  Masks are optional but recommended. \nQuestions? Contact us at info@imss.org \n\n\n\nMikiki\, Red Flag\, a Love Letter\, 2022. Commissioned by Visual AIDS for Being & Belonging \n\n\nThis project is partially supported by a CityArts Grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs & Special Events.\n \n \n\n\n\nThe International Museum of Surgical Science acknowledges support from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
