The masks each have a red typed messaged on the fabric. Masks read “an army of the sick can’t be defeated” and “to be scared of the sick is to be scared [the] living.”](https://storage.googleapis.com/visualaids-events/events/2020/April/_medium/285989/IMG_7150.jpg)

Visual AIDS hosted Ezra and Noah Benus for an Instagram Live conversation about their web gallery "An Army of the Sick Can't Be Defeated: Reflections on Care Work in Perpetual Sick Times." The gallery features a selection of artwork by HIV+ artists from the Visual AIDS Artist+ Registry, curated through the lens of disability justice and caretaking. Their reflections remind us that as a society we need to center and learn from sick and disabled communities not only during times of widespread illness but as an unwavering constant. We invite audience members to submit questions throughout their live conversation.
The conversation was also livestreamed on Google Hangouts with closed captioning.
