How to properly memorialize the dead who were both beloved and stigmatized? Memorials for people who died of AIDS were always political. But, at a certain point, private memorials were not sufficient; they had to be taken to the streets.

Katrina Haslip Memorial, Debra Levine & Catherine (Saalfield) Gund, 11 min., 1991

Ray’s Tape, Gregg Bordowitz, Jean Carlomusto, John Greyson and Catherine Gund,12 min., 1992

He Left Me His Strength, Merle Jawitz, Sherry Busbee, Joanne Basinger and Sheila Ward, 13 min., 1989

Political Funerals, James Wentzy, 30 min., 1995
