Vivent Health and the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver are proud to partner with @visual_aids for Day With(out) Art 2024 by presenting Red Reminds Me…, a film of seven short works reflecting the emotional spectrum of living with HIV today. The program also includes a discussion by Dr. Andy Scahill, Founder & CEO of The Rainbow Cult and University of Colorado Denver Assistant Film Professor, on queer filmmakers' response to HIV and AIDS in the ‘80s. Red Reminds Me… will feature newly commissioned videos 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), 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. The title is drawn from the words of Stacy Jennings, an activist, poet, and long-term survivor with HIV, who writes: “Red reminds me, red reminds me, red reminds me…to be free.”* Linking “red” to freedom, Jennings flips the usual connotations of the color and offers a new way of thinking about the complexity of living with HIV. Just as a prism bends and refracts light, Red Reminds Me…, expands the emotional spectrum of living with HIV. It shows us that while grief, tragedy, and anger define parts of the epidemic, the full picture contains deeper, nuanced, and sometimes contradictory feelings. Watch the trailer here. Free parking is available at North High School. About Day With(out) Art Day With(out) Art is an annual event that coincides with World AIDS Day on December 1 to mourn and be a day of action using art to respond to the ongoing HIV and AIDS crisis. Day With(out) Art encourages museums, universities, and art institutions to present related programming on or around World AIDS Day. /// About the Presenters 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 more than 40 years, we at Vivent Health have been relentless in the fight against HIV, from advocating for policy change to protecting communities through prevention efforts to welcoming and caring for all who come through our doors. We offer people living with HIV the highest-quality care, including wraparound social services designed to support the whole person. And perhaps most of all, we provide a safe, judgment-free zone for everyone we serve, regardless of whom they love, the color of their skin, where they live, or how much money they have. All so we can help people living with HIV live long, healthy lives, and work toward ending the HIV epidemic. /// About the Artists Gian Cruz (he/him) is a Filipino artist, researcher, and arts worker.
