SUMMARY:Day With(out) Art 2020: TRANSMISSIONS
DESCRIPTION:Ackland Art Museum is proud to partner with Visual AIDS for Day With(out) Art 2020 by presenting TRANSMISSIONS\, a program of six new videos considering the impact of HIV and AIDS beyond the United States. The video program brings together artists working across the world: Jorge Bordello (Mexico)\, Gevi Dimitrakopoulou (Greece)\, Las Indetectables (Chile)\, George Stanley Nsamba (Uganda)\, Lucía Egaña Rojas (Chile/Spain)\, and Charan Singh (India/UK). \nThe program does not intend to give a comprehensive account of the global AIDS epidemic\, but provides a platform for a diversity of voices from beyond the United States\, offering insight into the divergent and overlapping experiences of people living with HIV around the world today. The six commissioned videos cover a broad range of subjects\, such as the erasure of women living with HIV in South America\, ineffective Western public health campaigns in India\, and the realities of stigma and disclosure for young people in Uganda. \nAs the world continues to adapt to living with a new virus\, COVID-19\, these videos offer an opportunity to reflect on the resonances and differences between the two epidemics and their uneven distribution across geography\, race\, and gender. \nTRANSMISSIONS will premiere on November 30 at 6 p.m. EST as part of a special online screening event hosted by Visual AIDS and supported by Ackland Art Museum. A live Q&A with the commissioned artists will follow the screening. Please RSVP here to receive updates about this event. \nBeginning December 1\, the video program will be available to view online at visualaids.org/transmissions. \nVisual 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.

She lives by the quote: \n  \n“I am because we are. We all bleed the same color. We all want to love and be loved.” “I am the result of the good choices I’ve made and the bad choices.” \n  \nNEA Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Talk: "Afropessimism" by Frank B. Wilderson III
DESCRIPTION:The Ackland Art Museum has postponed this program as part of our response to the spread of coronavirus COVID-19 and based on recommendations from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Any additional updates will be posted on the Museum’s website. \n\n\n\nWith the narrative drive of a captivating novel\, and the intellectual rigor of critical theory at its best\, Afropessimism illustrates how Black death\, both real and symbolic\, is necessary for the material and psychic life of the Human species—and not just White people.  Few writers have the courage to set fire to the world while soaked in kerosene. Frank B. Wilderson III is one of them. Here is the match. Some readers will experience Afropessimism as a high wire act between rage and paranoia. Others will welcome it as a breath of sanity. \nPresented in connection with ART& Intergalactic Soul: Project LHAXX. Sponsored by the Carolina Seminar for Afrofuturism\, Black Optimism\, and Afropessimism and the Ackland Art Museum.
