This event follows on from the screening at BFMAF of Kaposi’s Sarcoma, the first in over 40 years. Conal and Mikiki will turn the cinema into a green screen studio, activating media and healthcare workshop techniques and community support approaches common to Marshall’s works to produce an environment of group feeling, thinking and learning.

You are invited to feel your way into dormant or forgotten histories and materialities of HIV/AIDS and its intersections with womens, indigenous and queer communally-held knowledge. Through playful games and rituals that preserve community health and bodily autonomy, the workshop aims to invert video and media surveillance to talk about art and activist continuities including HIV criminalisation in Canada and UK gender and healthcare legislation within longer histories and inheritances of queer art and activism.

This is part of a developing collaborative project between Conal McStravick, Mikiki and BFMAF that reactivates transnational media activist dialogues.
