Decarcerating Disability: Deinstitutionalization and Prison Abolition: A talk by Dr. Liat Ben-Moshe

Recent scholarship and activism paint a troubling picture of mass incarceration. But disability and madness and their histories of oppression and resistance are largely missing from this analysis. For example- the erasure of the most massive exodus of people from carceral spaces in the U.S., deinstitutionalization. In contrast, Dr. Ben-Moshe shows how disability/mad knowledges and histories should inform analysis of the abolition of prisons, jails, psychiatric hospitals and disability residential institutions for the liberation of us all.

Day With(out) Art 2022: BEING & BELONGING

December 1, 2022 – 5pm

Brakhage Center, Atlas 311

The Brakhage Center for Media Arts and LGBTQ Studies are proud to partner with Visual AIDS for Day With(out) Art 2022 by presenting 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).

From navigating s*x 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.

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.
