AIDS Activist Legacies

RSVP

Please join us Saturday July 19th 4pm at Artbook @ MoMA PS1 Bookstore for a conversation by Visual AIDS presented in tandem with Love Rules: The Harm Reduction Archives of Heather Edney and Richard Berkowitz, Visual AIDS' current exhibition at MoMA PS1.

Join us in-person or livestream on Instagram @artbookps1 The conversation centers three long-term HIV survivors and AIDS activists. Richard Berkowitz is joined by Linda H Scruggs and Ivy Kwan Arce as they celebrate "How to Have Sex in an Epidemic: One Approach", Berkowitz' seminal work that laid the foundation for safe sex practices. Together, the three will trace the enduring impact of the text and how it has influenced their activist careers. The conversation will expand to more broadly highlight the importance of legacy work, prompting insights into how we properly archive histories and give activists their flowers while they're here.

Following the discussion, visitors are welcome to explore the exhibition and converse with the panelists.

"Love Rules: The Harm Reduction Archives of Heather Edney and Richard Berkowitz" is on view at MoMA PS1 from April 24 to October 6. MoMA PS1 is free for all New Yorkers.
