Lost and Found: Bay Area Edition
Event Information
Description
New York is one epicenter of HIV/AIDS in America. The other is San Francisco. As a bicoastal collaboration with Danspace Project, whose Platform series Lost and Found: Dance, New York, HIV/AIDS, Then and Now ran October 13th through December 19th, and in partnership with CounterPulse, SFMOMA's Open Space gathers an intergenerational group of artists to explore various themes, questions, histories, and lineages as they relate, directly and obliquely, to the impact HIV/AIDS continues to have on dance and performance in the Bay Area and beyond. The afternoon event, which features Annie Danger, Xandra Ibarra, Monique Jenkinson, Rhodessa Jones, Keith Hennessy, Brontez Purnell, Helen Shumaker, and Amara Tabor-Smith, will include discussion, screenings and performative moments. Audience members are free to come and go as they please, and are also encouraged to visit the Lost and Found series on Open Space for related content.
