Day With(out) Art 2024: Red Reminds Me...

NYC premiere with Milko Delgado, Imani Maryahm Harrington, David Oscar Harvey, and Vasilios Papapitsios

Visual AIDS partnered with the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Studio Museum in Harlem for Day With(out) Art 2024 to present Red Reminds Me..., a program of seven videos reflecting the emotional spectrum of living with HIV today.

The New York City premiere included a post-screening discussion with artists Milko Delgado, Imani Maryahm Harrington, David Oscar Harvey, and Vasilios Papapitsios, moderated by Blake Paskal.

Red Reminds Me... features newly commissioned work by 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), and Vasilios Papapitsios (USA).

Through the red ribbon and other visuals, HIV and AIDS has been long associated with the color red and its connotations—blood, pain, tragedy, and anger. Red Reminds Me…* invites viewers to consider a complex range of images and feelings surrounding HIV, from eroticism and intimacy, mothering and kinship, luck and chance, memory and haunting. The commissioned artists deploy parody, melodrama, theater, irony, and horror to build a new vocabulary for representing HIV today.

This event is organized in collaboration with the Whitney Museum of American Art and The Studio Museum in Harlem, marking a decade of ongoing partnership around Day With(out) Art.

*The title Red Reminds Me... 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. 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.
