Center for the Humanities | Coalitional Intimacies: HIV/AIDS, Caregiving, & the Domestic Archive, w/Stephen Vider

Histories of HIV/AIDS activism have typically focused on public protest. In this virtual Humanities Without Boundaries talk, Stephen Vider will draw on work from his new book, The Queerness of Home, to explore how activists and artists simultaneously mobilized domestic space as a site of caregiving, remapping the boundaries of kinship and community. He will also reflect on how he translated his research for the 2017 exhibition AIDS at Home: Art and Everyday Activism at the Museum of the City of New York and explore how scholars and curators can work with artists, activists, and their wider communities to uncover the domestic archive of HIV/AIDS.
