ENTRE Film Center & Valley AIDS Council are proud to partner with Visual AIDS for Day With(out) Art 2024 by presenting Red Reminds Me... a program of seven videos reflecting the emotional spectrum of living with HIV today.

The title is drawn from the words of Stacy Jennings, an activist, poet, and long-term survivor with HIV, who writes: “Red reminds me, red reminds me, red reminds me…to be free.”* Linking “red” to freedom, Jennings flips the usual connotations of the color and offers a new way of thinking about the complexity of living with HIV. Just as a prism bends and refracts light, Red Reminds Me…, expands the emotional spectrum of living with HIV. It shows us that while grief, tragedy, and anger define parts of the epidemic, the full picture contains deep, nuanced, and sometimes contradictory feelings.

Red Reminds Me… features short videos by:

Gian Cruz (Philippines)
Milko Delgado (Panama)
Imani Maryahm Harrington (USA)
David Oscar Harvey (USA)
Mariana Iacono and Juan De La Mar (Argentina/Colombia)
Nixie (Belgium)
Vasilios Papapitsios (USA).

Screening followed by a panel discussion featuring local artists, historians, activists, and VAC staff. Refreshments and snacks will be available to attendees
