Register for your free ticketThe Studio Museum in Harlem is proud to partner with Visual AIDS and the Whitney Museum of American Art 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 (US), and Kurt Weston (US).
The New York City premiere at the Whitney will include a post-screening discussion with artists Dorothy Cheung, Beau Gomez, Hiura Fernandes, and Lili Nascimento moderated by Visual AIDS Artist Engagement and Community Programs Manager (and Studio Museum in Harlem Artist Educator) Blake Paskal.
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-19, mental health, and aging. The commissioned artists foreground the knowledge and expertise of disabled and sick people in a world grappling with multiple ongoing pandemics.
On December 1, World AIDS Day, the Studio Museum will present Studio Screen, an all-day virtual stream of these five films.
Visual AIDS is a New York-based non-profit that utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue, supporting HIV+ artists, and preserving a legacy, because AIDS is not over.
For this event, Visual AIDS is focused on providing a space that is accessible to those in our community who are immunocompromised and most susceptible to COVID. 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.
This program is free to attend. ASL Interpretation and closed captions will be available.
