The Art Galleries at TCU are proud to partner with Visual AIDS for Day With(out) Art 2020 by presenting TRANSMISSIONS, a program of six new videos considering the impact of HIV and AIDS beyond the United States. The video program brings together artists working across the world: Jorge Bordello (Mexico), Gevi Dimitrakopoulou (Greece), Las Indetectables (Chile), Lucía Egaña Rojas (Chile/Spain), Charan Singh (India/UK), and George StanleyNsamba (Uganda).

 

TRANSMISSIONS will premiere on November 30 at 5pm CST as part of a special online screening event hosted by Visual AIDS and supported by The Art Galleries at TCU. A live Q&A with the commissioned artists will follow the screening. Please RSVP here to receive updates about this event.

 

You can view the trailer for this year's films here: https://vimeo.com/478041190 

 

Starting December 1, the videos will be available to stream for free at visualaids.org/transmissions

 

The program does not intend to give a comprehensive account of the global AIDS epidemic, but provides a platform for a diversity of voices from beyond the United States, offering insight into the divergent and overlapping experiences of people living with HIV around the world today. The six commissioned videos cover a broad range of subjects, such as the erasure of women living with HIV in South America, ineffective Western public health campaigns in India, and the realities of stigma and disclosure for young people in Uganda.

As the world continues to adapt to living with a new virus, COVID-19, these videos offer an opportunity to reflect on the resonances and differences between the two epidemics and their uneven distribution across geography, race, and gender.
