Atkins Library is proud to partner with Visual AIDS for Day With(out) Art 2024 by presenting “Red Reminds Me…”, a program of seven videos reflecting the emotional spectrum of living with HIV today. “Red Reminds Me…” will feature newly commissioned videos by Gian Cruz (Philippines), Milko Delgado (Panama), Imani Maryahm Harrington (USA), David Oscar Harvey (USA), Mariana Iacono and Juan De La Mar (Argentina/Colombia), Nixie (Belgium), Vasilios Papapitsios (USA). Through the red ribbon and other visuals, HIV and AIDS has been long associated with the color red and its connotations—blood, pain, tragedy, and anger. “Red Reminds Me…” invites viewers to consider a complex range of images and feelings surrounding HIV, from eroticism and intimacy, mothering and kinship, luck and chance, memory and haunting. The commissioned artists deploy parody, melodrama, theater, irony, and horror to build a new vocabulary for representing HIV today. More information
