The Whitney Museum of American Art is proud to partner with Visual AIDS and The Studio Museum in Harlem for Day With(out) Art 2024 by presenting Red Reminds Me..., a screening of seven videos reflecting the emotional spectrum of living with HIV today.
The program features newly commissioned work by Gian Cruz (Philippines), Milko Delgado (Panama), Imani Harrington (USA), David Oscar Harvey (USA), Mariana Iacono and Juan De La Mar (Argentina/Colombia), Nixie (Belgium), and Vasilios Papapitsios (USA).
The New York City premiere at the Whitney will include a post-screening discussion with artists Milko Delgado, Imani Harrington, David Oscar Harvey, and Vasilios Papapitsios.
Through the red ribbon and other visuals, HIV and AIDS have 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, such as eroticism and intimacy, mothering and kinship, luck and chance, and memory and haunting. The commissioned artists deploy parody, melodrama, theater, irony, and horror to build a new vocabulary for representing HIV today.
Visual AIDS is a New York-based nonprofit that utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue, supporting HIV+ artists, and preserving a legacy because AIDS is not over. Visual AIDS is a Whitney Education Community Partner.
