Los Angeles Premiere with Clifford Prince King and Davina Conner In partnership with MOCA and The Studio Museum in Harlem, Visual AIDS presents Being & Belonging, a program of seven short videos highlighting under-told stories of HIV and AIDS from the perspective of artists living with HIV across the world. The program features newly commissioned work by Camila Arce (Argentina), Davina “Dee” Conner and Karin Hayes (USA), Jaewon Kim (South Korea), Clifford Prince King (USA), Santiago Lemus and Camilo Acosta Huntertexas (Colombia), Mikiki (Canada), and Jhoel Zempoalteca and La Jerry (México). The Los Angeles premiere of Being & Belonging at MOCA will be followed by a conversation with artists Clifford Prince King and Davina “Dee” Conner, moderated by Visual AIDS Artist Engagement and Community Programs Manager Blake Paskal. Note: The in-person screening does not require RSVP and seating is on a first-come first-serve basis. From navigating sex and intimacy to confronting stigma and isolation, Being & Belonging centers the emotional realities of living with HIV today. How does living with HIV shift the ways that a person experiences, asks for, or provides love, support, and belonging? The seven videos are a call for belonging from those that have been stigmatized within their communities or left out of mainstream HIV/AIDS narratives.
