Launch Party: What Is 21st Century Liberation?

Join Visual AIDS and New York Live Arts to kick off Visual AIDS' latest broadside project and installation, What Is 21st Century Liberation?, designed by Avram Finkelstein, co-creator of SILENCE=DEATH, and Rodrigo Moreira.

For the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, Visual AIDS asked an intergenerational group of artists and activists—ALOK, Jason Collins, Winter Collins, Timothy DuWhite, Lola Flash, Tenzin Gund-Morrow, Elle Hearns, Corey Johnson, Bill T. Jones, Elizabeth Koke, and Chris Vargas—to answer the question: What Is 21st Century Liberation?

Their responses have been compiled into a large-scale wall installation co-presented by New York Live Arts and a newsprint broadside. The project aims to address the complex intersectional issues that link AIDS activism with LGBTQI+ activism, and with expansive forms of social justice activism, both historically and today.

Invite your friends on Facebook here.

Free broadsides will be available throughout New York City during the month of June, and will be distributed in the thousands by Visual AIDS during the 2019 New York City Pride March for Stonewall 50.

If you do not live in New York City, you can order a broadside for the cost of shipping at the Visual AIDS store.
