Viral Intimacies

The project foregrounds the realities of those who long have been silenced or forgotten in writing the history of HIV/AIDS:

trans and cis women, people from the Global South, racialized people, incarcerated people and sex workers. VIRAL INTIMACIES asks how to decolonize the history and present of HIV/AIDS.


Eleven audiovisual artworks fill the gaps in the dominant yet incomplete narrative of HIV/AIDS and narrate HIV/AIDS as a fragmented and uneven story. The accompanying public program creates a shared space for in depth conversation, encounters, visibilities and solidarity through film screenings, talks, workshops and performances.
