Working with artists, curators, and art institutions on a national and international scale, Visual AIDS has never stopped commissioning and distributing projects at the intersections of art, AIDS and activism. Visual AIDS uses art to combat AIDS by provoking dialogue, supporting HIV-positive artists, and preserving a legacy, because AIDS is not over.

Commissioned by Visual AIDS in 2018 as part of ALTERNATE ENDINGS, ACTIVIST RISINGS, a program of short videos from six inspiring community organizations and collectives that highlights the impact of art in AIDS activism and advocacy today.
