Beto Pérez calls himself joto* and vicho**, is an artist living and working and in the small city of Tlaxcala, Mexico where he organizes events related to HIV culture. His artistic work investigates HIV history beyond the limits of scientific, academic and Western notions of progress. If history is a document, it has to be owned collectively, from poetry, to protest, journals, gardening and more. A quest for memory to take over the fatigue, the boredom, the routine, necessary conditions for medical surveillance. To do this, he uses art installation, video and performance.
