Join us at e-flux Screening Room on Thursday, June 4, 2026 at 7pm for Experiment as Method, Care as Practice: Four Decades of HIV & AIDS Shorts, a program presented in collaboration with The Film-Makers’ Cooperative, Visual Aids, and MIX NYC, featuring 12 experimental films and videos spanning 1986 to 2024 and sourced from the collections of the three organizations.

‍

The program traces how queer and trans filmmakers have developed new visual languages to render the complexities of life and death with HIV, as the wider community simultaneously formulated ways to survive through it. The provision of care, the insistence on love, the question of pleasure, and the importance of self-documentation in queer life all continue to accrue new meaning and urgency across distinct, ongoing phases of the epidemic.

The program will consist of a 100-minute screening followed by a brief Q&A. Tickets are now live – comp tickets and community tickets are also available.
