Visual AIDS has commissioned seven artists— Mykki Blanco, Cheryl Dunye (with Ellen Spiro), Reina Gossett, Thomas Allen Harris, Kia LaBeija, Tiona McClodden, and Brontez Purnell–to create short videos about the ongoing HIV/AIDS crisis. The video program, titled Alternate Endings, Radical Beginnings, is the 28th iteration of Visual AIDS’s longstanding Day With(out) Art project.

Curated by Erin Christovale and Vivian Crockett, Alternate Endings, Radical Beginnings looks to prioritize black narratives within the AIDS epidemic.

This program is presented in partnership with Visual AIDS and The Studio Museum In Harlem.
