Day With(out) Art 2024: Red Reminds Me...
100+ Screenings Worldwide
For Day With(out) Art 2024, Visual AIDS presents Red Reminds Me…, a program of seven videos reflecting the emotional spectrum of living with HIV today. The program features newly commissioned short videos by artists working across the world:
Gian Cruz (Philippines)
Milko Delgado (Panama)
Imani Maryahm Harrington (USA)
David Oscar Harvey (USA)
Mariana Iacono and Juan De La Mar (Argentina/Colombia)
Nixie (Belgium)
Vasilios Papapitsios (USA)
The title is drawn from the words of Stacy Jennings, an activist, poet, and long-term survivor with HIV, who writes: “Red reminds me, red reminds me, red reminds me…to be free.”* Linking “red” to freedom, Jennings flips the usual connotations of the color and offers a new way of thinking about the complexity of living with HIV. Just as a prism bends and refracts light, Red Reminds Me…, expands the emotional spectrum of living with HIV. It shows us that while grief, tragedy, and anger define parts of the epidemic, the full picture contains deep, nuanced, and sometimes contradictory feelings.
The artists in this program were selected through an open call process juried by artists/activists aAliy A. Muhammad and Jessica Whitbread, curator Alper Turan, and community organizer Josué Lopez.
The hour-long video program premieres on December 1, 2024, World AIDS Day/Day With(out) Art. Visual AIDS partners with museums, galleries, universities, and organizations around the world to present free screenings on/around December 1.
The videos will be available to view online at visualaids.org/dwa2024 beginning December 1, 2024.
*Jennings recites this poem in the video Here We Are: Voices of Black Women Who Live with HIV, created by Davina “Dee” Conner and Karin Hayes for Day With(out) Art 2022: Being and Belonging.
Visual AIDS' Day With(out) Art programming is supported by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
