SUMMARY:

Gregg Bordowitz and Pamela Sneed will present the first episode of a year-long project exploring the intersection of art and health activism, a subject that has influenced both their work and lives in myriad ways since the AIDS epidemic began in the 1980s. Presented by Bordowitz and Sneed, this event will combine the format of a conference, Town Hall meeting and a chat show, during which they will invite collaborators OlaRonke Akinmowo, Kay Ulanday Barrett, Morgan Bassichis, Miguel Gutierrez, Viva Ruiz, and audience members to address this subject. Healthcare Not Warfare: A Tragi-comedy takes the relationship between the AIDS public health crisis and the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic as a pivotal convergence during a time of increasing climate chaos, to consider the ways that performance can inspire and activate change.
