. One afternoon he yelled and humiliated me in front of my mother, saying, that he had “zero tolerance for my kind.”
Are there no laws to protect??
We were all shocked that he didn’t tell any of us. Only one of his friends knew he was positive. He never sought treat-ment. It’s shocking
What a difficult situation to have to go through for all parties involved. The friend had so much strength for enduring that in silence while the one friend that knew had to refrain from telling other friends of the upcoming death. The friends, like Manuel, that were shocked to discover the death of a friend.
Doctors systematically lie to positive patients in order to save the government money and nobody acknowledges this
!!!!!!!! How absurd, this is so challenging. Some countries really experience such poor and selfish medical service. Brazil does the same thing while also stealing from their citizens somehow too!
If you are a New Yorker and you’re not positive, it’s because then you’re not hot enough.”
Holy shit! This definitely took me by surprise, so weird how anyone would think that. Although, humorous (took me by surprise) shouldn't be the message.
apples and ask them to choose the meaning of the apple.
I wonder why Kairon decided an apple should be used as a representation; I wonder how his models react to this concept.
I never thought I would have HIV. I had a belief that only “certain people” got AIDS
This reminds me of the discussions we have had in class about the lack information about AIDS/HIV we had been exposed to. It's sad to see how many lives are impacted by HIV simply because people are afraid or disagree.
my being positive as a kind of catalyst. I remember an interviewer asking—or basically, saying—that my work was about the virus, but it’s about so many other things
it's brought a sense of strength within that inspires his art; it's beyond HIV/AIDS.
. It is both a theoretical foundation and a repertoire of practices, which are also intended to bring together the views and knowledge of different
This is a really amazing idea, to teach about the epidemic to numerous groups of people in order to further spread awareness and a level of appreciation for the foundation and history of AIDS.
In the USA in particular, numer-ous exhibitions have been established,20 and in Europe, research projects are being organized to look back on the history and memory of the epidemic at local, national (in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Ireland, Switzerland or Spain), or supranational (like Europatch21) levels.
I wonder if there's difference in the exhibits for art in USA vs. EU in terms of spreading awareness for AIDS. Have artists or museums noticed a pattern in terms of a reaction from the public in different locations?
Following the collection, a phase of inventorying, marking, and documenting the collections marked the beginning of a second silence, this time one related to heritage, which accompanied the moving of the collections and the difficult breaking of the link with the donators and actors of the struggle against AIDS who participated in the project.
I find it really exciting how these people sought the significance of this collection. It shows the connection between people, how average people are forced to fight an illness without the support of anyone around them as well as government (no funds, meds, etc).
In biomedical research [...] patients have struggled to have a voice, particularly in the development of therapeutic trials. Also in the social sciences, the legitimate desire of some people concerned is also to be seen not only as objects for research but also as ‘partners.’
it's trouble how those that suffer with HIV/AIDS are not only silenced by family, government, society, etc but also doctors and scientists who oftentimes forget about the patient and focus only on the diagnosis.
The purpose of this article is to report on a unique experience of bringing the topic of AIDS into a museum in France, and to describe and document the distinctive questions and practices of the museum that “exhibiting AIDS” implies.
Primary argument is the importance of spreading the awareness of AIDS into a museum in France and to document questions/practices of museums that present AIDS exhibits. This will help them find ways of spreading awareness of AIDS in a more global spectrum.
Over the last decade, annual diagnoses increased 63% among AI/AN gay and bisexual men.
I wonder how AI/AN women are also affected? Are numbers not nearly as severe?
AI/AN tend to use alcohol and drugs at a younger age and use them more often and in higher quantities.
It's so disappointing how people are fully aware of Indig. communities' lack of supplies yet not much has changed. Indig peoples are being treated so inhumanely by the white people who stole their land and now refuse to help in times of need.
Overall, diagnosed HIV infections among AIs/ANs are proportional to their population siz
That's really surprising considering the 63% this just was just dropped. It's insane how many people are affect to this modern day; I truly had no awareness of the severity.

!!!! the shock in my face...
Two of the posters are below, along with updated CDC statistics.
These posters have such a strong presence. R.I.S.E.'s poster was able to display the importance of resistance; a lot of the truth was displayed through these posters. The primary argument is resistance is awareness; bringing awareness to HIV/AIDS affect on Indigenous community.
Who or what is or is not considered to be a political subject of AIDS?
I'm curious to know if the artist has received backlash due to his exhibits. Everyone has the potential and that is the importance of being informed.
AIDS betrays representation, and we should not betray that betrayal. We should be truthful and respect this traitorous quality that is so confounding.
Yes! It is so important to be aware of the high number of people affected by AIDS, it does betray representation in the sense of it's not spoken enough about in general.
I quickly realized that nothing could be the same. Faced with these difficult questions on the limits of identity and visibility, my own curatorial practice had to change. In other words, I developed an approach to curating based on works that I was not able to forget—works that I continue to return to today.
I wish they could go further into detail about this, I would like to know more about the approach.
The works share a tremendous amount having to do with withdrawal, retreat, and disappearance—what I call the logic of the lure
This piece of art reminds me of a Transmissions' video I watched as hw. The one where the men are telling stories from female narratives. I think women diagnosed with HIV/AIDs may understand the art. Their disappearance, completely unacknowledged.
, considers “what it means to have been brought up in the shadow of the AIDS crisis, as young queer people, and how artists today are revisiting their feelings and experiences.”2
To summarize their convo, they will basically discuss the affects of being brought up in the shadow of the AIDS crisis, how it still affects.
