Visual AIDS presents BROADCAST, a free summer screening series featuring contemporary artists’ responses to the ongoing AIDS crisis through the medium of video.
Since 2014, Visual AIDS has commissioned over 40 artist videos, bringing fresh perspectives on the ongoing HIV crisis and highlighting potent histories of art and activism. These video commissions carry forward a long lineage of AIDS video activism that has not only propelled the AIDS movement, but has shaped video itself as an art form.
The BROADCAST screening series highlights curated selections from Visual AIDS’ video commissions alongside new and historical AIDS-themed work, including the U.S. premiere of two international projects. In tandem with the series, Visual AIDS is launching a new online archive of past video commissions at video.visualaids.org.
Visual AIDS will partner with Anthology Film Archives to present two screening events: OUR BONES GLOW IN THE DARK, curated by Louie Ortiz-Fonseca, and VIRAL INTERVENTIONS, comprising six new videos from Canadian artists that address the topic of living with HIV today.
For a full calendar of BROADCAST screenings at venues across New York City visit visualaids.org/broadcast.
