Visual AIDS is proud to partner with the LA LGBT Center for Day With(out) Art 2023 by presenting Everyone I Know Is Sick, a program of five videos generating connections between HIV and other forms of illness and disability.
The program features newly commissioned work by Dorothy Cheung (Hong Kong), Hiura Fernandes & Lili Nascimento (Brazil), Beau Gomez (Canada/Philippines), Dolissa Medina & Ananias P. Soria (USA), and Kurt Weston (USA).
The Los Angeles premiere at the LA LGBT Center will include a post-screening discussion with artists Dolissa Medina, Ananias P. Soria, and Kurt Weston, moderated by Visual AIDS Interim Director Kyle Croft.
Free parking is available (with validation) at 1118 North McCadden Place.
Note: In order to create a space that is most accessible and welcoming to those in our community who are immunocompromised, face coverings will be required to attend this event. All attendees ages two and older must wear face coverings that cover the nose and mouth.
Inspired by a statement from Cyrée Jarelle Johnson in the book Black Futures, Everyone I Know Is Sick examines how our society excludes disabled and sick people by upholding a false dichotomy of health and sickness.
Inviting us to understand disability as a common experience rather than an exception to the norm, the program highlights a range of experiences spanning HIV, COVID, mental health, and aging. The commissioned artists foreground the knowledge and expertise of disabled and sick people in a world still grappling with multiple ongoing pandemics.
