Visual AIDS marks World AIDS Day with A Day With(out) Art at 3 DFW venues
From “Viejito Enfermito Grito (Old Man Sick Man Shout)” by Dolissa Medina and Ananias P. Soria Since 1989, the New York-based Visual AIDS has organized an event coinciding with World AIDS Day on Dec.
1. The day of remembrance and awareness includes multiple events, including screening, testing and, at three local venues, presenting the annual A Day With(out) Art film.
Visual AIDS, the only nationwide arts organization dedicated to AIDS and HIV awareness, commissions artists to create a video on a theme at the intersection of HIV and AIDS for what is now called A Day With(out) Art. For its 34th year, six artists — including one from Texas — reflect on this year’s theme, “Everyone I Know Is Sick,” intended to create connections between HIV and AIDS and other forms of illness and disabilities.
This year’s artists are Dorothy Cheung from Hong Kong, Hiura Fernandes and Lili Nascimento from Brazil, Beau Gomez from Canada/The Philippines, Dolissa Medina and Ananias P.
