A video by award-winning visual artist and long-term AIDS survivor and activist, Kurt Weston

December 1 is World AIDS Day, a day to remember those we’ve lost to this decades-long pandemic.

This year, to commemorate World AIDS Day, Visual AIDS presented a program called Everyone I Know Is Sick. The program features selected videos by various artists. One of these artists is my mentor and friend, award-winning photographer Kurt Weston. His short video is called Losing the Light, inspired by a self-portrait with the same name and part of his well-known Blind Vision series.

Everyone I know Is Sick premiered at The Whitney Museum, in New York City, on November 30, 2023. Find out more about it here.

It’s a powerful, remarkable and unforgettable story of what it means and takes to live with HIV.

As always, thanks for stopping by!
